Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 23 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 2.3.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. The package is not shown to be malicious at install time, but its default automatic crash reporting can transmit error-derived content and create remote issues using ambient GitHub credentials. Its AI-agent configuration mutation is explicit-command, project-local setup rather than an unconsented lifecycle hijack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T21:03:07.454Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T21:03:45.420Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 2947 ms - **AI review time:** 34513 ms - **Total time:** 37966 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:** A user-run CLI crash can automatically submit its stack-derived report to the project's GitHub repository using existing GitHub authentication. Explicit initialization also installs project-local Claude Code hooks and an MCP configuration; no install-time agent-control mutation was found. - **Trigger:** Run monomind; an uncaught exception triggers reporting. Run monomind init or monomind guidance setup to create Claude integration files. - **Impact:** Potential disclosure of crash-stack content and unprompted GitHub issue creation under the user's existing authentication. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cli.js, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/services/crash-reporter.js, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/commands/init.js, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/init/executor.js, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/init/settings-generator.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T21:03:45.420Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** default crash-report submission and explicit project-local agent extension setup - **Rationale:** The package is not shown to be malicious at install time, but its default automatic crash reporting can transmit error-derived content and create remote issues using ambient GitHub credentials. Its AI-agent configuration mutation is explicit-command, project-local setup rather than an unconsented lifecycle hijack. - **Files touched:** ~/.monomind, \/.claude/settings.json, \/.claude/helpers/, \/.mcp.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}/issues ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** bin/cli.js enables crash reporting by default on uncaught errors., Crash reports include error stacks and are sent using gh or GITHUB\_TOKEN., init writes Claude Code hooks, permissions, and .mcp.json when explicitly invoked., README.md contains an ignore-instructions string only as a safety-check example. - **Evidence against:** package.json postinstall only deletes AppleDouble .\_\* files under node\_modules., No install hook imports package code or contacts a network endpoint., Claude/MCP configuration writes are behind explicit monomind init or guidance setup commands., condition-evaluator restricts tokens before using new Function. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to monomind@2.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of monomind@2.3.0 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.
