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. Installing the package downloads a mutable remote archive and extracts it into the package. If the archive contains the expected skills manifest, its binary is executed during installation; macOS quarantine removal weakens an OS protection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-15T05:58:28.572Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-15T05:59:11.096Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 22 ms - **AI review time:** 41998 ms - **Total time:** 42524 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

If the archive contains the expected skills manifest, its binary is executed during installation; macOS quarantine removal weakens an OS protection. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall. - **Impact:** A changed or compromised release artifact can run code in the installing user's environment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T05:59:11.096Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unverified latest-release download followed by extracted-binary execution. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook fetches the repository's latest platform archive rather than a version-pinned, verified artifact. It extracts the archive into dist, removes macOS quarantine from the binary, and conditionally runs that downloaded binary to install skills. Control of the latest release artifact therefore becomes install-time code execution on every package installation. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic remote payload execution chain with no checksum or signature verification, compounded by quarantine removal. Although the host is package-aligned and no direct secret theft appears in the JavaScript, the install-time execution is concrete and unsafe. - **Files touched:** dist/hipmmcode.tar.gz, dist/, dist/hipmmcode, ~/.hipmmcode/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/HiPMMAI/hipmmcode/releases/latest/download/hipmmcode-\.tar.gz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Install automatically runs an installer through npm postinstall., The installer downloads an unpinned latest release, saves it, and extracts it without integrity verification., A downloaded binary can be executed during installation, and macOS quarantine is removed first. - **Evidence against:** The packaged JavaScript contains no credential harvesting or direct data exfiltration., The default download host is GitHub and the code does not use shell command strings or eval. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.0.10. - Avoid installing @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.0.10. 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.
