Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Staged Payload Carrier - **Selected version:** 1.1.4 - **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. Installation retrieves an opaque release archive, extracts it, and invokes code from that archive. The release repository can be changed through an environment variable, so the install-time payload is not fixed by this package snapshot. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T04:51:10.567Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T04:51:50.975Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 18 ms - **AI review time:** 39633 ms - **Total time:** 40408 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:** Installation retrieves an opaque release archive, extracts it, and invokes code from that archive. The release repository can be changed through an environment variable, so the install-time payload is not fixed by this package snapshot. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** A substituted or compromised release archive can execute during installation. No confirmed attack against credentials or local data was established from the inspected JavaScript. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T04:51:50.975Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer follows redirects while downloading a platform archive, extracts it into dist, and runs the extracted binary for default-skill installation. - **Rationale:** The install hook creates an automatic path from a remotely supplied archive to binary execution, with no visible integrity verification in the inspected installer. Static source does not show direct theft, destruction, or a proven malicious payload. - **Files touched:** dist/hipmmcode.tar.gz, dist/hipmmcode - **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:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs install.js automatically through a postinstall hook., The installer permits its release repository to be selected through an environment variable., At install time it downloads a redirected release archive from GitHub and writes it locally., It extracts the downloaded archive and automatically runs its contained binary to install default skills. - **Evidence against:** The default download location is the package's named GitHub repository., No credential collection, secret transmission, or destructive action is present in the inspected JavaScript. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.1.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @hipmmai/hipmmcode@1.1.4 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.
