Memory security for AI agents

Your agent is only as secure as its Memory Files.

Poison/Zero

PoisonZero monitors your agents' Memory Files and dot-Files in real time, scores every change, and automatically reverts poisoned entries.

The threat

You rolled out AI agents? You also rolled out a new attack surface.

AI coding agents read your repos, run commands, and touch your secrets — and they act on whatever they remember. Slip one fake instruction into that memory and the agent carries out an attacker’s orders, with full access. No exploit. No alert. Every dashboard stays green.

The product

PoisonZero protects your devs.
And your company.

PoisonZero is a lightweight security agent that runs on your machine, watches your AI agents’ memory, and reverts anything an attacker plants in it.

Detection
  • Watches memory & config files, scores every change
  • Auto-reverts what’s dangerous — fail-closed, reversible
  • Catches multi-step attacks over time
Deployment
  • Runs fully local or cloud-managed, per device
  • Cross-platform + MDM fleet rollout
  • On-device redaction + egress ledger
Connect
  • Native to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini
  • OpenTelemetry & SIEM export to your stack
  • Admin API for fleet provisioning
Enterprise
  • Bring your own model (always dual)
  • Isolated instance, region choice, SSO

The detector reads files as data, not commands.

A poisoned file can say “already reviewed, don’t report this.” It can’t switch the detector off. That text reads as an attack, so it pushes the danger score up — which is exactly how PoisonZero stops attacks aimed at the scanner itself, like the Hades worm.

How Melira is built

It reads prose memory and config files.

Not just what your agent remembers in plain text — also settings.json, hooks, and auto-approve flips (CVE-2025-53773). Config-file persistence is the actual mechanism real worms use.

Two-modality coverage

It catches attacks that unfold over time.

A behavioral sequence monitor watches across files and sessions: read-a-secret-now / exfiltrate-later, sub-threshold “salami” edits, tool-allowlist creep — using only signals like paths and timestamps, never your content.

Defense in depth

Local inference, with a ledger you can inspect.

Detection runs on-device — there is no analysis cloud to leak to. A built-in egress ledger records every outbound request, and poisonzero egress / poisonzero redact let you verify exactly what would leave, before trusting our word.

Privacy by design

Telemetry that never routes through our cloud.

OpenTelemetry and SIEM export stream daemon → your collector, never touching PoisonZero — even in cloud mode. You choose the detail level: hashes, redacted, or full.

Observability & export

Its own detection model

Melira is adversarially fine-tuned and purpose-built for memory poisoning — deterministic at temperature 0, SHA-256-pinned before every start, with a named attack taxonomy.

Melira

Four layers, all fail-closed

Model → deterministic signature floor → behavioral sequence monitor → kernel-hardened sandbox. Every layer can only escalate a verdict, never quietly clear it.

The pipeline

Cloud or Private, per device

The same feature set either way, chosen per machine within one fleet. Private is fully local — roughly one network request every 30 days, with a zero-egress option.

Deployment modes

Fits your stack

OpenTelemetry to any collector, SIEM export as JSON, CEF or syslog, and a plain-JSON Admin REST API built for scripts and AI agents.

Admin API

Integrates where you work

A native Claude Code status line and /poisonzero command, plus setup for Codex, Gemini CLI and Cursor — fully local, no memory writes.

Enterprise & fleet

Bring your own LLM as an always-on second opinion that can never downgrade a block; roll out via SCCM, Intune or Ansible; device-bound licensing with no vendor kill-switch.

How it works

Score. Decide. Roll back.

PoisonZero runs on the same machine as your agent. Every change to its memory gets checked and rated for danger. Safe edits pass. Dangerous ones are undone automatically — in a fraction of a second, before the agent acts on them. Every decision is logged.

a poisoned change is caught the moment it’s written — and reverted automatically.

runs on your own machine. In private mode, your code and secrets never leave it.
