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. The package has no npm install hook, but its user-started runtime can automatically upload session-derived training data and create a cloud job. This creates a real data disclosure and account-action risk, while the configured provider, safeguards, and opt-out do not establish a publish-blockable attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T23:05:42.553Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T23:07:25.338Z - **Download time:** 1021 ms - **Static scan time:** 805 ms - **AI review time:** 100958 ms - **Total time:** 102785 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:** A recurring background worker can upload session-derived preference pairs to a configured fine-tuning provider and create a cloud training job. The flow has thresholds and cooldown checks, but does not require a separate submission action once the worker is running. - **Trigger:** Starting the web service or invoking evolve-auto starts the worker; it begins a cycle after a delay and repeats periodically. - **Impact:** Session-derived data may be disclosed to the configured provider, and a cloud job may be created under that account without a separate submission action. - **Evidence paths:** dist/main.js, dist/evolution-daemon.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T23:07:25.338Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The worker runs evolution and then auto-finetune --submit. That command builds training pairs from stored session tasks and answers, uploads training data to the configured provider, and can create a fine-tuning job unless automatic fine-tuning is disabled in configuration. - **Rationale:** The package has no npm install hook, but its user-started runtime can automatically upload session-derived training data and create a cloud job. This creates a real data disclosure and account-action risk, while the configured provider, safeguards, and opt-out do not establish a publish-blockable attack. - **Files touched:** dist/main.js, dist/evolution-daemon.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json declares only a build script and version-aligned first-party runtime dependencies; there is no npm install lifecycle hook., Starting the web service or invoking evolve-auto starts the evolution worker., The worker runs an evolution cycle after a delay, repeats periodically, and invokes auto-finetune --submit., The fine-tuning backend is resolved from saved provider settings; submission is skipped only when finetune.auto is explicitly false., Training pairs use stored session tasks and answers, are uploaded to that provider, and can be used to create a cloud fine-tuning job. - **Evidence against:** The worker is started by CLI commands, and the fine-tuning endpoint comes from the user's saved provider configuration., The command has cooldown and active-job checks, and the user can disable automatic fine-tuning with finetune.auto=false. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.23.35. - Review the evidence and your use of @hmharness/cli@0.23.35 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.
