Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the CLI entrypoint starts its bootstrap only when invoked. The exported authenticated request helper has unresolved caller and credential-flow context, so I cannot verify its activation or recipient from the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 63.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T01:57:32.488Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T02:02:31.613Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 23879 ms - **AI review time:** 274482 ms - **Total time:** 299125 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No concrete attack was established. A helper can send a bearer token and body to a supplied server, but the reviewed source does not resolve the caller, token origin, or effective destination. - **Trigger:** Unknown; the helper is exported from its module, and the reviewed CLI entrypoint does not establish that it is called. - **Impact:** The source inspected does not establish whether a saved credential is exposed or whether the recipient is unrelated. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T02:02:31.613Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The helper posts JSON to the supplied server and attaches the supplied token as a bearer authorization header. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the CLI entrypoint starts its bootstrap only when invoked. The exported authenticated request helper has unresolved caller and credential-flow context, so I cannot verify its activation or recipient from the inspected source. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 63.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares no lifecycle scripts and points the command to dist/bin.js., dist/runtime/signers.js defines an HTTP helper that posts a caller-provided body to a caller-provided server with a bearer token., The helper appears as an export in dist/runtime/signers.js, but the inspected source does not identify its caller or establish the token’s origin and destination. - **Evidence against:** The CLI entrypoint invokes bootstrap from the command line; the inspected source does not show the helper being activated by package installation or by the CLI entrypoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mnemonik/cli@7.163.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @mnemonik/cli@7.163.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
