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 install-like subprocess is explicitly invoked for an ablation task, while the TUI updater is package-aligned and installs this CLI from its registry. The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T04:52:31.596Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T04:53:00.071Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 620 ms - **AI review time:** 27335 ms - **Total time:** 28475 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. The reviewed subprocess is tied to an explicit ablation command, and the TUI update behavior targets this CLI package through the npm registry. - **Trigger:** A user runs the explicit ablation command or starts the TUI with automatic updates enabled. - **Impact:** No concrete malicious effect was established from the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:53:00.071Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Ablation runs fixed measurement tasks; the TUI checks the registry and can install a newer @hmharness/cli release. - **Rationale:** The install-like subprocess is explicitly invoked for an ablation task, while the TUI updater is package-aligned and installs this CLI from its registry. The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior. - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/-/package/@hmharness/cli/dist-tags ### 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 matching @hmharness dependencies., dist/main.js loads the ablation task only when the user supplies --task., dist/ablate-task.js runs fixed measurement tasks in a hard-coded project directory; its subprocess is not an install hook., The TUI checks for updates against the npm registry and its updater installs a newer release of this same CLI package. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.21.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @hmharness/cli@0.21.2 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.
