This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T18:58:47.259Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T19:00:57.746Z - **Download time:** 254 ms - **Static scan time:** 1672 ms - **AI review time:** 128560 ms - **Total time:** 130487 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicit \`memgineering setup\` command can write guidance and hooks into supported AI-agent configuration directories. Install-time code only prints follow-up instructions during global installs. - **Trigger:** User or agent runs \`memgineering setup\`; global npm install prints guidance. - **Impact:** Can alter configured agent guidance and hook behavior after an explicit setup action. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T19:00:57.746Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit AI-agent configuration and hook installation. - **Rationale:** Not malicious: the lifecycle script only emits instructions and explicitly avoids unattended setup. Warn because a user- or agent-invoked command mutates AI-agent control surfaces and installs hooks. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/index.js, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Explicit \`setup\` installs guidance into agent control files, including Codex., Global postinstall addresses an agent and directs it toward setup. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall only prints guidance for global installs; it does not run setup., Cloud requests use the package's API and credentials obtained through its login flow., No source evidence of secret harvesting, hidden exfiltration, or remote code loading. ## Public findings ### 1.

High: Credential Redirect Persistence - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** dist/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Manifest-reachable source sends a prompted API credential to a fixed unofficial gateway and persists the redirection. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Manifest-reachable source captures an API credential, sends it to a fixed unofficial gateway, and persists that redirection in agent or shell configuration. dist/index.js: import { mkdir, readFile, rename, rm, writeFile } from "fs/promises"; await writeFile(tmp, body, { encoding: "utf8", mode: 384 }); import { rename as rename2, rm as rm3, writeFile as writeFile2 } from "fs/promises"; await writeFile2(tmp, content, { encoding: "utf8", mode: 384 }); import { mkdir as mkdir7, readFile as readFile12, unlink, writeFile as writeFile6 } from "fs/promises"; await writeFile6(credentialsPath(), JSON.stringify(credentials, null, 2) + "\n", { import { mkdir as mkdir8, readFile as readFile13, unlink as unlink2, writeFile as writeFile7 } from "fs/promises"; await writeFile7(pendingLoginPath(), JSON.str ``` ### 10.
