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. Installing the package fetches an unpinned external archive and executes code from it. It may also install skills into the user's Hipmmcode directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T11:08:02.230Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T11:08:42.677Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 17 ms - **AI review time:** 39664 ms - **Total time:** 40447 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:** Installing the package fetches an unpinned external archive and executes code from it. It may also install skills into the user's Hipmmcode directory. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** A substituted or compromised release archive can execute with the installing user's permissions and modify Hipmmcode skills. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T11:08:42.677Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download, quarantine removal, and automatic execution - **Rationale:** The package uses an automatic lifecycle hook to execute an unverified remote binary and install agent skills. This is a concrete supply-chain risk, but the inspected source alone does not establish malicious intent or direct exfiltration. - **Files touched:** dist/hipmmcode.tar.gz, dist/hipmmcode, dist/default-skills/, ~/.hipmmcode/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/${REPO}/releases/latest/download/hipmmcode-${label()}.tar.gz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook downloads a latest-release archive, with redirects allowed, and extracts it without an integrity check., An environment variable can select the GitHub repository supplying the install-time archive., The installer removes the macOS quarantine attribute from the downloaded executable., During installation it conditionally executes the downloaded binary to install a skills pack into the user's Hipmmcode directory. - **Evidence against:** The inspected JavaScript contains no credential harvesting or direct data-exfiltration logic., No self-dependency, obfuscated code, shell interpolation, or destructive project-file mutation was found., The runtime launcher only forwards user-supplied arguments to the installed binary. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.0.7. - Review the evidence and your use of @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.0.7 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.
