The package is a user-invoked AI memory CLI/MCP server that stores SQLite data, can generate/inject local context, and can optionally install git hooks for auto-refresh. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-02T19:31:50.916Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-02T19:32:36.268Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 492 ms - **AI review time:** 44357 ms - **Total time:** 45352 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface is established. The package is a user-invoked AI memory CLI/MCP server that stores SQLite data, can generate/inject local context, and can optionally install git hooks for auto-refresh. - **Trigger:** User runs CLI commands such as setup, hook install, graph, inject, MCP tools, or imports and calls the API - **Impact:** Local project files may be read for graphing and knowledge.md/.git/hooks may be written when explicit commands are used; no unconsented install-time behavior or exfiltration found - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.js, scripts/inject-memory.mjs, scripts/generate-graph.mjs, src/api/index.js, src/core/hooks.js, src/core/session.js, src/mcp/server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-02T19:32:36.268Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** local memory database, code graph generation, optional context injection and git hook installation - **Rationale:** Static inspection found potentially sensitive local automation primitives, but they are explicit package features activated by user commands and no lifecycle execution, credential theft, external exfiltration, or covert persistence was found. The scanner's dangerous-delta hint maps to a code graph generator that reads local source and writes a cache for documented context injection. - **Files touched:** knowledge.md, .git/hooks/post-merge, .git/hooks/post-checkout, .git/hooks/post-rewrite, .infinit-graph.json, agentic-cortex.db - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:8081/v1/chat/completions ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** cli.js setup/hook can write knowledge.md and .git/hooks, but only when user runs setup/hook, scripts/inject-memory.mjs rewrites knowledge.md between MEMORY\_CONTEXT markers when invoked, scripts/generate-graph.mjs recursively reads project source and writes .infinit-graph.json cache when invoked, src/core/hooks.js supports custom\_js via new Function only when AGENTIC\_CORTEX\_HOOKS\_JS=1 - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install/preinstall/postinstall lifecycle scripts, Main import src/api/index.js initializes APIs but does not install hooks, rewrite agent files, or contact network, Network use is limited to local LLAMA\_CPP\_BASE\_URL default http://127.0.0.1:8081 for LLM features, MCP server exposes memory operations over stdio only, not a network listener, No credential harvesting or external exfiltration endpoints found in inspected source, Git hook and knowledge.md mutation are documented, package-aligned CLI actions ## Public findings ### 1.
