Mnemonik installer and local project helper
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install lifecycle scripts, and the reviewed network, Git, and dynamic evaluation behavior aligns with its installer and scanner functions. I found no evidence of credentials being sent to an unrelated host or of concealed remote code execution.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The CLI runs when explicitly invoked; installer reporting occurs during the install workflow, and hook context binding occurs when its hook is invoked.
Impact
No unauthorized credential disclosure, unrelated remote code execution, or other malicious behavior was identified.
Mechanism
The installer reports readiness to the Mnemonik API using an available Mnemonik CLI bearer token. The scanner’s eval calls construct glue functions from embedded WebAssembly exports.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle scripts, and the reviewed network, Git, and dynamic evaluation behavior aligns with its installer and scanner functions. I found no evidence of credentials being sent to an unrelated host or of concealed remote code execution.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest describes an installer and local project helper, exposes a CLI and library entry point, and defines no lifecycle scripts or runtime dependencies.
- The CLI calls bootstrap only when the user runs the command.
- Installer reporting uses the Mnemonik API, sends a CLI bearer token only when one is available, and reports readiness and platform/version data.
- Hook context binding runs Git locally and sends a hashed repository fingerprint and HMAC-derived project-root context.
Evidence against
- The scanner and diagnostics contain eval calls, but the inspected scanner code uses them to build JavaScript glue from embedded WebAssembly exports.
- The installer contacts the Mnemonik API and can report installation readiness; this is part of the package’s stated installer purpose.
- The package reads Git remote URLs locally to derive a repository fingerprint; the inspected payload contains a hash rather than the raw remote URL.
