@mnemonik/cli@7.161.0
Mnemonik installer and local project helper
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install hook, and the flagged scanner eval is tied to embedded Emscripten module exports rather than a remote response. However, readiness reporting forwards a saved CLI bearer token to an unrestricted environment-configured origin, leaving conditional credential exposure risk.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the installer when a saved CLI bearer token is available and readiness reporting runs.
Impact
An untrusted configured endpoint could receive the bearer token and readiness data.
Mechanism
The reporter places the saved token in a bearer authorization header and sends it to the API origin; the environment override is not restricted to approved hosts.
AI rationale
The package has no install hook, and the flagged scanner eval is tied to embedded Emscripten module exports rather than a remote response. However, readiness reporting forwards a saved CLI bearer token to an unrestricted environment-configured origin, leaving conditional credential exposure risk.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json has no install lifecycle scripts.
- The installer reads a saved CLI OAuth access token and uses it for readiness reporting.
- During installation, the readiness reporter sends the bearer token to the configured API origin.
- The API origin defaults to the Mnemonik API, but MNEMONIK_API_RESOURCE can replace it without a host allowlist.
- The separate hook transport takes its server and token as inputs; its code does not establish that it obtains the saved CLI token.
- The scanner eval match constructs functions from strings exposed by embedded Emscripten module exports.
Evidence against
- The token transfer is part of installation readiness reporting to the package's default Mnemonik API; the source does not establish publisher-controlled collection or malicious intent.
- The scanner eval finding is in embedded Emscripten code and does not show remote response execution.
