Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has no install hooks, and its reviewed network behavior posts project context to the configured Mnemonik service. The scanner's eval use is tied to WebAssembly support code, with no evidence that it executes concealed remote responses. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T00:48:48.106Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T00:49:44.427Z - **Download time:** 1320 ms - **Static scan time:** 23773 ms - **AI review time:** 31228 ms - **Total time:** 56321 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 attack was identified in the inspected source; the reviewed network and process behavior supports the installer and hook runtime. - **Trigger:** Explicit CLI or hook use; importing the entry point re-exports modules. - **Impact:** No credential theft, unrelated collection, or unrequested account action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T00:49:44.427Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook runtime sends project identity and repository fingerprint data to its configured service. The reported eval use constructs functions from WebAssembly module strings. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hooks, and its reviewed network behavior posts project context to the configured Mnemonik service. The scanner's eval use is tied to WebAssembly support code, with no evidence that it executes concealed remote responses. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.mnemonik.dev, configured hook server ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no lifecycle scripts or runtime dependencies., The import entry point re-exports CLI modules without directly invoking them; the binary runs the bootstrap when invoked., The flagged eval builds functions from WebAssembly module strings in generated Emscripten support code., Hook context posts a bounded project identity payload to its configured server using a bearer token; the payload contains hashes and project identifiers, not the token itself., The default API origin is api.mnemonik.dev, and the reported version change adds no lifecycle scripts or dependencies. - **Evidence against:** The package includes dynamic evaluation and process execution in runtime code, but the inspected evaluation is part of WebAssembly support and git execution gathers repository metadata for hook context binding. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mnemonik/cli@7.170.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @mnemonik/cli@7.170.2 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.
