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 latest-release binary from GitHub, extracts it, and executes it. The source provides no checksum or signature verification. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-15T18:45:13.355Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-15T18:45:49.586Z - **Download time:** 770 ms - **Static scan time:** 26 ms - **AI review time:** 35434 ms - **Total time:** 36231 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The source provides no checksum or signature verification. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** A release asset selected at install time can run with the installing user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T18:45:49.586Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download and automatic execution - **Attack narrative:** npm invokes install.js automatically. It builds a GitHub latest-release URL using an environment-controlled repository value, downloads and extracts the archive without integrity verification, then runs the extracted binary during installation to install skills. It also removes the macOS quarantine attribute from that binary. This gives remotely supplied executable code an automatic install-time execution path. - **Rationale:** This is an unverified, mutable remote-binary execution chain in a postinstall hook, with an environment-controlled source and quarantine removal. That is concrete install-hook abuse rather than a safe package-local launcher. - **Files touched:** package.json, install.js, dist/hipmmcode.tar.gz, dist/hipmmcode, dist/default-skills - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The postinstall hook automatically runs install.js., The installer accepts HIPMMCODE\_REPO and fetches a latest-release archive without an integrity check., During installation it extracts the downloaded archive and executes its binary to install skills., The installer clears the macOS quarantine attribute from the downloaded binary. - **Evidence against:** The JavaScript wrapper is small and its download-and-launch behavior is plainly visible., No credential harvesting or direct data exfiltration is present in the inspected JavaScript. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.1.0. - Avoid installing @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.1.0. 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.
