Explicit setup installs package-owned guidance and can add agent hooks in global AI-tool configuration. Global postinstall prints instructions but performs no setup itself. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-18T06:17:20.902Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-18T06:17:56.099Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 2067 ms - **AI review time:** 32622 ms - **Total time:** 35197 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit setup installs package-owned guidance and can add agent hooks in global AI-tool configuration. Global postinstall prints instructions but performs no setup itself. - **Trigger:** User or agent runs memgineering setup after global installation. - **Impact:** Persistent package commands can run at agent session/tool events after setup. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-18T06:17:56.099Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Agent-extension installation and hook registration - **Rationale:** The scanner's exfiltration claim is unsupported: networking is package-aligned authenticated API use after explicit login. The package nevertheless creates a real, persistent AI-agent extension surface when its explicit setup command is run. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.grok/rules/memgineering.md, ~/.grok/hooks/memgineering.json, ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md, ~/.memgineering/credentials.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.memgineering.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Global postinstall instructs an AI agent to run setup after asking two questions., The setup command writes guidance/skills into global Claude, Codex, Grok, and Gemini agent locations., Setup can register session and pre-tool hooks that execute memgineering commands., Hosted login sends its obtained bearer token only to the configured memgineering API endpoint. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall only prints guidance when globally installed; it does not invoke setup or mutate files., Agent-control changes are behind the explicit memgineering setup command and support dry-run., No environment harvesting, shell execution, remote payload loading, or foreign credential forwarding was found., Default network host is package-aligned: api.memgineering.com. ## Public findings ### 1.
