@legioncodeinc/honeycomb@0.5.3

Honeycomb monorepo foundation: a long-lived daemon plus thin clients for six coding harnesses, the unified honeycomb CLI, the MCP server, and the embed daemon.

AI Security Review

scanned 18h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. No confirmed malicious attack surface. The meaningful risk is explicit user-command setup of first-party AI assistant hooks and plugin registration for Honeycomb memory capture/recall.

Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User runs `honeycomb setup`, `honeycomb connect <harness>`, or assistant host invokes installed Honeycomb hooks
Impact
Captures assistant session/tool events for local memory features; not activated by npm postinstall and no exfiltration chain confirmed
Mechanism
first-party assistant hook/plugin lifecycle wiring to local Honeycomb daemon
Rationale
Static source inspection found explicit assistant hook/plugin wiring and runtime network features, but the npm postinstall scripts do not mutate AI-agent control surfaces or run remote payloads. Because the extension lifecycle risk is real but user-invoked and package-aligned, warn rather than block.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
  • bundle/cli.js explicit setup/connect can wire Claude/Codex/Cursor hooks under user assistant config dirs
  • bundle/cli.js Claude connector can run `claude plugin marketplace add/install/enable honeycomb`
  • harnesses/claude-code/hooks/hooks.json defines hook commands that execute bundled Honeycomb handlers
  • embeddings/embed-daemon.js lazily downloads/loads HuggingFace model via @huggingface/transformers at runtime
Evidence against
  • package.json postinstall only runs local dependency presence checks
  • scripts/ensure-tree-sitter.mjs checks installed WASM grammar files and exits non-fatally
  • scripts/ensure-embed-deps.mjs only require.resolve checks optional dependency; no import/download
  • Assistant hook/config mutation is under explicit CLI setup/connect/uninstall paths, not npm install-time
  • SDK and hook bundles target local daemon endpoints and package-aligned APIs; no credential harvesting found
  • Config uninstall paths filter/remove Honeycomb-owned entries while preserving foreign hooks
