Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection confirms an explicit-user-command, first-party Claude Code setup with global persistent hooks and moving-version execution. No unconsented lifecycle mutation or credential-exfiltration chain was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T21:03:05.484Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T21:03:54.283Z - **Download time:** 753 ms - **Static scan time:** 4678 ms - **AI review time:** 43367 ms - **Total time:** 48799 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicit \`monomind init\` installs project Claude Code integration and also modifies global Claude configuration. It creates persistent hooks that execute a moving \`@latest\` package on future Claude sessions. - **Trigger:** User runs \`monomind init\` (default options). - **Impact:** Persists package-controlled guidance and a SessionStart command in Claude Code; future hook execution resolves current registry code. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/commands/init.js, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/init/executor.js, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/services/crash-reporter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T21:03:54.283Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** CLI-driven Claude Code configuration, hook, and background-service setup. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an explicit-user-command, first-party Claude Code setup with global persistent hooks and moving-version execution. No unconsented lifecycle mutation or credential-exfiltration chain was found. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .mcp.json, CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/settings.json, .monomind/ - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}/issues ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** \`monomind init\` explicitly runs an initializer that writes Claude Code configuration and helpers., Initializer appends guidance to \`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md\` and adds a global SessionStart hook running \`npx --yes monomind@latest tokens today\`., Default init starts background services and executes \`npx @monomind/cli@latest\` commands., Crash handler can submit a redacted crash report to GitHub using configured GitHub credentials. - **Evidence against:** \`postinstall\` only deletes macOS \`.\_\*\` metadata files below \`node\_modules\`., Control-surface writes are behind the explicit \`monomind init\` command, with reinitialization confirmation/force checks., No install-time credential harvesting, payload download, or foreign AI-agent mutation was found., Secret-detection code is a user-invoked local scanning MCP tool; it does not transmit findings. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to monomind@2.1.8. - Review the evidence and your use of monomind@2.1.8 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
