Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The tunnel operator can receive and potentially misuse the user’s HookMyApp credential. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.14.24 - **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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The bundled local profile hard-codes an unofficial ngrok host, and the authenticated API client sends the stored bearer credential to whichever host that profile selects. Although production is the default, choosing the package’s local environment exposes the credential to the fixed tunnel operator. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T12:00:30.807Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T12:01:35.692Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 5316 ms - **AI review time:** 59067 ms - **Total time:** 64885 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:** The CLI’s local environment redirects authenticated API requests, including the stored HookMyApp bearer credential, to a fixed ngrok host. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI with the local environment selected, or has local persisted as the environment. - **Impact:** The tunnel operator can receive and potentially misuse the user’s HookMyApp credential. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T12:01:35.692Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The API client reads the stored credential, sets it as the Authorization Bearer token, and sends the request to the effective API URL; the local profile hard-codes that URL to an ngrok tunnel. - **Attack narrative:** When the local environment is selected, the CLI sends authenticated API requests to a fixed ngrok tunnel instead of HookMyApp’s API. Its API client attaches the stored HookMyApp bearer credential to those requests, exposing the credential to whoever controls the tunnel. Production is the default, so this behavior requires selecting or persisting the local environment. - **Rationale:** The bundled local profile hard-codes an unofficial ngrok host, and the authenticated API client sends the stored bearer credential to whichever host that profile selects. Although production is the default, choosing the package’s local environment exposes the credential to the fixed tunnel operator. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js - **Network endpoints:** https://uninked-robbi-boughless.ngrok-free.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The bundled local environment hard-codes its API and app host to https://uninked-robbi-boughless.ngrok-free.dev., The API client reads the stored credential and uses it as a Bearer token in requests to the effective API URL., The executable imports dist/cli.js, making this request path reachable through the published CLI. - **Evidence against:** The CLI defaults to the production environment; the ngrok host is used when the local environment is selected or persisted., The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly runs a build and unit tests. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @gethookmyapp/cli@0.14.24. - Avoid installing @gethookmyapp/cli@0.14.24. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
