Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Under Review - **Threat category:** Unknown - **Selected version:** 7.164.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. Static inspection found no install-time trigger and the scanner evaluation matches WebAssembly glue. The exported credential-transfer helper’s callers and effective destination are unresolved, so its exposure cannot be classified from the inspected excerpts; manual review is appropriate. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 57.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T02:59:21.079Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T03:03:57.200Z - **Download time:** 522 ms - **Static scan time:** 24150 ms - **AI review time:** 251448 ms - **Total time:** 276121 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:** The source exposes a helper that sends a bearer token and JSON body to a caller-supplied server. The inspected excerpts do not resolve the helper’s callers or whether its destination is constrained. - **Trigger:** A runtime caller invokes the exported helper. - **Impact:** The recipient and purpose of the token transfer remain unresolved from the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** dist/runtime/signers.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T03:03:57.200Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The helper posts the supplied body with the supplied token as a bearer authorization header to the supplied server and path. - **Rationale:** Static inspection found no install-time trigger and the scanner evaluation matches WebAssembly glue. The exported credential-transfer helper’s callers and effective destination are unresolved, so its exposure cannot be classified from the inspected excerpts; manual review is appropriate. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 57.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The CLI runs its bootstrap when invoked without help., A runtime helper sends a bearer token and JSON body to a server supplied as an argument., The helper is exported, but the inspected source does not establish who supplies the server or token., The scanner evaluation site is part of WebAssembly JavaScript glue that builds functions from module contents. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, so installation alone does not trigger the CLI bootstrap. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mnemonik/cli@7.164.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @mnemonik/cli@7.164.0 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.
