## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/memgineering@0.4.2/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.mjs

- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/memgineering@0.4.2/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.mjs
```

### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs.

### 4. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 5. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 6. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 7. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 8. Critical: Credential Exfiltration
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/memgineering@0.4.2/dist/index.js>)

Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L15: function brandHome() {
L16: return process.env[BRAND.homeEnvVar] ?? join(homedir(), BRAND.homeDirName);
L17: }
...
L88: function isInteractive() {
L89: return Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY) && !jsonMode;
L90: }
L91: function printHuman(text) {
L92: if (!jsonMode) process.stdout.write(text + "\n");
L93: }
...
L104: for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
L105: const code = input.charCodeAt(i);
L106: if (code === 27) {
```

### 9. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/memgineering@0.4.2/dist/index.js>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.main -> dist/index.js
L15: function brandHome() {
L16: return process.env[BRAND.homeEnvVar] ?? join(homedir(), BRAND.homeDirName);
L17: }
...
L88: function isInteractive() {
L89: return Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY) && !jsonMode;
L90: }
L91: function printHuman(text) {
L92: if (!jsonMode) process.stdout.write(text + "\n");
L93: }
...
L104: for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
L105: const code = input.charCodeAt(i);
L106: if (code === 27) {
```

### 10. High: Trigger Reachable Credential Exfiltration
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/memgineering@0.4.2/dist/index.js>)

A manifest entrypoint or package-local install chain reaches credential exfiltration behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable credential exfiltration chain: manifest.main -> dist/index.js
L15: function brandHome() {
L16: return process.env[BRAND.homeEnvVar] ?? join(homedir(), BRAND.homeDirName);
L17: }
...
L88: function isInteractive() {
L89: return Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY) && !jsonMode;
L90: }
L91: function printHuman(text) {
L92: if (!jsonMode) process.stdout.write(text + "\n");
L93: }
...
L104: for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
L105: const code = input.charCodeAt(i);
L106: if (code === 27) {
```

### 11. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 12. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 13. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 14. Critical: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/memgineering@0.4.2/dist/index.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = memgineering@0.2.1
matchedIdentity = npm:bWVtZ2luZWVyaW5n:0.2.1
similarity = 0.750
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
