## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 0.7.5
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. A global-install postinstall message instructs an attending AI agent to run setup. The subsequent setup command writes first-party guidance and optional hooks into supported AI-agent configuration directories.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** A global-install postinstall message instructs an attending AI agent to run setup. The subsequent setup command writes first-party guidance and optional hooks into supported AI-agent configuration directories.

- **Trigger:** Global npm install followed by an agent acting on the postinstall message and running memgineering setup.

- **Impact:** Can persist package instructions and commands in Codex, Claude Code, Grok, or Gemini/Antigravity agent configuration.

- **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/index.js, assets/MEMGINEERING.md, assets/memgineering-setup/SKILL.md, package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T20:18:05.332Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Agent-directed setup installs guidance, skills, and optional lifecycle hook commands.

- **Rationale:** The package deliberately steers agents from a postinstall message into a command that mutates AI-agent configuration and registers hooks. Because installation itself only prints guidance and setup contains user-facing choices, this warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/index.js, assets/MEMGINEERING.md, assets/memgineering-setup/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/settings.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.memgineering.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** Global postinstall addresses an AI agent and directs it to run setup., Setup writes guidance and skills into detected agent home directories., Setup can install command hooks into Codex/Claude configuration., Hosted commands send bearer tokens only to the configured memory API.

- **Evidence against:** Postinstall is gated to global installs and explicitly does not run setup itself., No hidden install-time config write, payload execution, or unrelated exfiltration was found., The network API is package-aligned and credential use is tied to hosted-brain commands.
