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 CLI’s \`local\` profile routes authenticated API requests to a fixed ngrok host and persists that choice. Because the profile must be selected explicitly and production is the default, this is a serious but conditional credential-routing risk; the source does not establish who controls the tunnel. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T11:59:49.435Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T12:01:12.517Z - **Download time:** 259 ms - **Static scan time:** 5151 ms - **AI review time:** 77670 ms - **Total time:** 83082 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 \`local\` profile can route HookMyApp credentials to a fixed public ngrok host and persist that routing choice. - **Trigger:** A user explicitly selects the \`local\` profile, for example with \`config set env local\`. - **Impact:** If the ngrok endpoint is not controlled by the legitimate HookMyApp service, its operator could receive the user’s credentials and API requests. - **Evidence paths:** bin/hookmyapp.js, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T12:01:12.517Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** CLI API requests use the profile’s base URL and attach the stored access token as a Bearer token; the selected profile is persisted in configuration. - **Rationale:** The CLI’s \`local\` profile routes authenticated API requests to a fixed ngrok host and persists that choice. Because the profile must be selected explicitly and production is the default, this is a serious but conditional credential-routing risk; the source does not establish who controls the tunnel. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/hookmyapp/config.json, ~/.config/hookmyapp/credentials.json - **Network endpoints:** uninked-robbi-boughless.ngrok-free.dev, api.hookmyapp.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The \`hookmyapp\` executable imports \`dist/cli.js\` when run., The bundled \`local\` profile points its API and app URLs to \`uninked-robbi-boughless.ngrok-free.dev\`., The API client reads stored credentials and sends the access token as a Bearer authorization header., The API client sends requests to the selected base URL., \`config set env local\` persists the environment choice for later CLI runs., The default environment is \`production\`. - **Evidence against:** The ngrok endpoint is used only when the \`local\` profile is selected; production is the default., Selecting \`local\` requires an explicit configuration choice, though the profile’s remote endpoint is not apparent from its name. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @gethookmyapp/cli@0.14.23. - Review the evidence and your use of @gethookmyapp/cli@0.14.23 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.
