If the tarball includes the expected skills manifest, its binary runs during postinstall and may modify its own skills directory. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** A changed remote release can run arbitrary native code at install time. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, bin/run.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T11:34:39.458Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download, extraction, and conditional execution - **Rationale:** This is a concrete install-time staged-payload capability but the inspected source shows a package-aligned binary-distribution design rather than direct theft or sabotage. Warn pending trusted artifact integrity or source review. - **Files touched:** package.json, install.js, dist/hipmmcode.tar.gz, dist/hipmmcode, dist/default-skills/MANIFEST.toml, ~/.hipmmcode/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/${REPO}/releases/latest/download/hipmmcode-${label()}.tar.gz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** postinstall runs installer code automatically., Installer downloads an unpinned latest-release tarball and extracts it., Downloaded binary is executed during installation when its manifest is present. - **Evidence against:** Download host and default repository are package-aligned GitHub locations., No credential harvesting, exfiltration, or destructive source behavior is present in inspected files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.0.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.0.4 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.
