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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. npm installation fetches and executes an unpinned release binary, then asks it to install default skills. This creates a supply-chain and package-owned agent-extension risk, but the inspected wrapper does not itself show secret theft or destructive behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T14:56:52.476Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T14:57:38.084Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 30 ms - **AI review time:** 44816 ms - **Total time:** 45608 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:** npm installation fetches and executes an unpinned release binary, then asks it to install default skills. This creates a supply-chain and package-owned agent-extension risk, but the inspected wrapper does not itself show secret theft or destructive behavior. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** A compromised or substituted release artifact can execute during installation and modify ~/.hipmmcode/skills. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T14:57:38.084Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall remote binary download, quarantine removal, and automatic skill installation. - **Rationale:** This is an unverified remote-code execution path during postinstall plus automatic first-party agent skill setup. It is a concrete lifecycle risk, but the reviewed JavaScript does not establish malicious exfiltration, persistence outside the package-owned directory, or destructive intent. - **Files touched:** dist/hipmmcode.tar.gz, dist/hipmmcode, dist/default-skills/MANIFEST.toml, ~/.hipmmcode/skills - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Installation automatically runs a postinstall bootstrapper., The bootstrapper downloads the latest release artifact with redirects and no integrity verification., It clears macOS quarantine from the downloaded executable., It automatically executes that opaque executable to install skills into the package-owned agent directory. - **Evidence against:** The inspected JavaScript contains no credential harvesting or direct data exfiltration., The source is a small, transparent binary-wrapper implementation with no obfuscation or self-dependency., The normal command launcher only runs the installed binary after an explicit user command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.0.6. - Review the evidence and your use of @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.0.6 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.
