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 automatic postinstall performs network-backed setup, but it provisions the matching first-party engine and its uv installer endpoint is explicit. The inspected CLI process behavior supports local engine operation; the scanner's browser credential and malware labels are not supported by the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T06:54:41.645Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T06:55:15.289Z - **Download time:** 1291 ms - **Static scan time:** 5109 ms - **AI review time:** 27243 ms - **Total time:** 33644 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 malicious attack was identified in the inspected source. The install hook provisions the package's matching engine, and the CLI starts it and communicates over localhost. - **Trigger:** The postinstall hook runs during package installation; the CLI engine starts when the hum command is invoked. - **Impact:** The hook modifies the user's Hum data directory and may install uv; inspected source does not establish credential theft or a malicious attack surface. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T06:55:15.289Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook uses uv to create a Python environment and install hum-cli at the package version. The CLI launches the engine and uses a local socket connection. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall performs network-backed setup, but it provisions the matching first-party engine and its uv installer endpoint is explicit. The inspected CLI process behavior supports local engine operation; the scanner's browser credential and malware labels are not supported by the inspected source. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/cli.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1, https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook creates a Python environment under HUM\_HOME or the user's .hum directory and installs the matching hum-cli release., If uv is absent, the installer runs its install script from astral.sh; this is an install-time network and execution behavior., The CLI starts the Hum engine as a child process and connects to it on localhost; inspected source shows no browser credential collection or unrelated credential destination. - **Evidence against:** The install hook sets up the package's matching first-party engine and removes an older hum-cli tool installation when detected., The CLI's inspected process and socket behavior is tied to starting and communicating with the local engine. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @metaphi-ai/hum@0.1.11. - Review the evidence and your use of @metaphi-ai/hum@0.1.11 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.
