Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected network and update behavior is package-aligned: registry checks and optional automatic installation of this CLI's own release. The scanner's structural and wildcard-dependency signals do not establish a concrete attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T04:51:06.169Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T04:51:31.316Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 477 ms - **AI review time:** 23908 ms - **Total time:** 25147 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 attack was identified in the inspected source. The network check and update path are limited to the npm registry, while the daemon probe targets localhost. - **Trigger:** Interactive REPL startup checks for updates; TUI startup can install a newer CLI release. Web daemon behavior activates when the user starts or uses the web interface. - **Impact:** The inspected behaviors check for or install this package's own update and manage its local web daemon; no concrete malicious effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:51:31.316Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The update checker reads the CLI version from the registry and the TUI can run npm install for @hmharness/cli. The daemon helper probes a local API and launches the CLI entrypoint. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected network and update behavior is package-aligned: registry checks and optional automatic installation of this CLI's own release. The scanner's structural and wildcard-dependency signals do not establish a concrete attack. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/main.js, dist/web-daemon.js, dist/tui.js, dist/update-check.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/-/package/@hmharness/cli/dist-tags, https://registry.npmjs.org/, http://127.0.0.1:\/api/state ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no install lifecycle hook and depends on related @hmharness packages., The interactive REPL makes a registry version check and displays an update reminder., The web daemon probes only the local 127.0.0.1 endpoint and starts the CLI entrypoint as a child process., The TUI auto-update installs a newer release of this same CLI from the npm registry; setting tui.autoUpdate to false switches to a reminder. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.18.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @hmharness/cli@0.18.8 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. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 2. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 3. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 4. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 5. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Path:** dist/main.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript package = @hmharness/cli; repositoryIdentity = hmharness; dependency = @hmharness/agent L31: import { harmonyTools } from '@hmharness/domain-harmony'; L32: import { baseTools, buildRegistry, buildSystemPrompt, runAgentTask, strings } from '@hmharness/agent'; L33: const DIM = (s) => `\x1b[2m${s}\x1b[0m`; ``` ### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 7. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 80.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 9. Medium: Wildcard Dependency - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest contains a wildcard dependency. ### 10. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/web-daemon.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = @hmharness/cli@0.14.24 matchedIdentity = npm:QGhtaGFybmVzcy9jbGk:0.14.24 similarity = 0.556 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 11. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json has no install lifecycle hook and depends on related @hmharness packages. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "scripts": { "build": "tsc -p tsconfig.build.json" }, "dependencies": { "@hmharness/kernel": "*", "@hmharness/observability": "*", "@hmharness/evolution": "*" ``` ### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** dist/main.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The interactive REPL makes a registry version check and displays an update reminder. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript // npm is pull-based; the update reminder is a cached (1/day) registry // check printed when resolved - never blocks, never nags offline const { notifyUpdate } = await ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 9 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 9 ### Published dependency entries - @hmharness/agent 0.14.21 (Dependency) - @hmharness/domain-harmony \* (Dependency) - @hmharness/domain-ops \* (Dependency) - @hmharness/evaluation \* (Dependency) - @hmharness/evolution \* (Dependency) - @hmharness/kernel \* (Dependency) - @hmharness/observability \* (Dependency) - @hmharness/sandbox \* (Dependency) - @hmharness/web \* (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @hmharness/cli - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.18.8 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-09-26T21:07:36.816Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-09-07T08:27:34.501Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-11-02T15:26:06.063Z - **Known versions:** 92 - **Latest version:** 0.23.50 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** hmharness command line: one-shot tasks, an interactive REPL, a fullscreen TUI, the web frontend, and direct tool invocation. - **Maintainers:** swsgbl - **Keywords:** harmonyos, openharmony, ohos, agent, ai, cli, coding-agent, arkts, self-evolving, mcp - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=22 - **Artifact files:** 19 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 289,663 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
