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 flagged behaviors inspected are consistent with the CLI’s own update and local pairing functions, and the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. No concrete malicious behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T04:52:23.870Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T04:53:00.070Z - **Download time:** 1272 ms - **Static scan time:** 589 ms - **AI review time:** 34338 ms - **Total time:** 36200 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 surface was identified. The TUI performs a package-aligned background update check and install, and its pairing request goes to the local daemon. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI REPL or TUI; the TUI’s update behavior runs unless disabled in configuration. - **Impact:** The package may update its own global CLI installation; inspected source did not show a malicious payload or unrelated recipient. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:53:00.070Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The update check queries the npm registry and may spawn npm to install a newer @hmharness/cli release. The pairing flow fetches status from 127.0.0.1. - **Rationale:** The flagged behaviors inspected are consistent with the CLI’s own update and local pairing functions, and the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. No concrete malicious behavior was established. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/main.js, dist/tui.js, dist/update-check.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/-/package/@hmharness/cli/dist-tags, 127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines only a build script and lists same-version @hmharness dependencies; it has no install lifecycle hook., The CLI update check contacts the npm registry for this package’s latest release., The TUI can automatically install a newer @hmharness/cli release in the background when the TUI runs; this is package-aligned update behavior., The TUI pairing request targets the local web daemon at 127.0.0.1. - **Evidence against:** Inspected entrypoint and flagged TUI code showed no credential harvesting, unrelated network recipient, or destructive behavior., The flagged subprocesses are tied to explicit editor, diff, clipboard, preference export, or package-update behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.19.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @hmharness/cli@0.19.9 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 L33: import { harmonyTools } from '@hmharness/domain-harmony'; L34: import { baseTools, buildRegistry, buildSystemPrompt, runAgentTask, strings } from '@hmharness/agent'; L35: 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. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/tui.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@0.15.0 matchedIdentity = npm:QGhtaGFybmVzcy9jbGk:0.15.0 similarity = 0.500 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 10. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json defines only a build script and lists same-version @hmharness dependencies; it has no install lifecycle hook. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "scripts": { "build": "tsc -p tsconfig.build.json" }, "dependencies": { "@hmharness/agent": "0.19.9", "@hmharness/cognitive": "0.19.9", "@hmharness/domain-harmony": "0.19.9", "@hmharness/domain-ops": "0.19.9", "@hmharnes ``` ### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** dist/update-check.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The CLI update check contacts the npm registry for this package’s latest release. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript const REGISTRY = 'https://registry.npmjs.org/-/package/@hmharness/cli/dist-tags'; // 5 minutes for auto-update mode (fresh enough to catch new releases same-session); // the check is a single lightweight GET, not worth caching longer const CACHE_TTL_MS = 5 * 60_000; /** Numeric p ``` ### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** dist/tui.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The TUI can automatically install a newer @hmharness/cli release in the background when the TUI runs; this is package-aligned update behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript // 2026-09-21 product direction: updates are ZERO-ACTION - a newer version // installs itself in the background (detached npm, next launch picks it // up; never swaps files under the running process) and we only SAY so. // Opt out with config.json tui.autoUpdate=false (falls back to the hint). const { notifyUpdate, aut ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 12 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 12 ### Published dependency entries - @hmharness/agent 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/cognitive 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/domain-harmony 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/domain-ops 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/environments 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/evaluation 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/evolution 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/kernel 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/observability 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/sandbox 0.19.9 (Dependency) - @hmharness/web 0.19.9 (Dependency) - qrcode ^1.5.4 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @hmharness/cli - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.19.9 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-09-29T13:26:49.954Z - **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:** 310,395 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
