Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 1.1.2 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. No confirmed malicious attack was identified, but installation automatically fetches and executes an unauthenticated release binary and invokes its skills installer. This creates a lifecycle risk because the binary's skills mutation is outside the inspected JavaScript. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T00:53:50.477Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T00:54:37.863Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 20 ms - **AI review time:** 46598 ms - **Total time:** 47386 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:** No confirmed malicious attack was identified, but installation automatically fetches and executes an unauthenticated release binary and invokes its skills installer. This creates a lifecycle risk because the binary's skills mutation is outside the inspected JavaScript. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** A changed or substituted release archive could execute during installation and modify the hipmmcode user skills area. - **Evidence paths:** install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T00:54:37.863Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook downloads a release archive, extracts it into dist, clears quarantine on macOS, and runs the downloaded binary with skill install-defaults. - **Rationale:** The automatic download-and-execution chain plus default skills setup warrants a warning. The visible code does not provide concrete evidence of malware or an unconsented broad control-surface takeover. - **Files touched:** dist, ~/.hipmmcode/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/${REPO}/releases/latest/download/hipmmcode-${label()}.tar.gz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs install.js automatically through a postinstall hook., The installer downloads a platform archive from a GitHub release, extracts it, and removes macOS quarantine from the resulting binary., During installation it executes the downloaded binary to install a default skills pack into the product's user skills location. - **Evidence against:** The inspected JavaScript contains no credential collection, environment-value forwarding, or direct secret exfiltration., The visible installer targets the package's own named skills location rather than a general foreign agent configuration path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.1.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.1.2 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.
