## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 7.174.2
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-02T10:58:22.292Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-02T10:59:24.675Z

- **Static scan time:** 24471 ms
- **AI review time:** 36894 ms
- **Total time:** 62383 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; the reviewed network and execution behavior supports the installer, project helper, and scanner.

- **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.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T10:59:24.675Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **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.

- **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.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.mnemonik.dev, MNEMONIK\_API\_RESOURCE (configurable API origin)

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **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.
