Hum: a self-improving coding agent for your terminal.
AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook performs automatic setup for this package's own terminal application. The inspected source shows package-aligned runtime installation and no concrete malicious behavior, so the scanner's lifecycle and dynamic-execution signals do not establish an attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm runs the package's postinstall hook.
Impact
This creates a user-local runtime for the terminal application; inspected source does not establish an attack surface.
Mechanism
The hook checks the installed core version and calls the installer when it does not match.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook performs automatic setup for this package's own terminal application. The inspected source shows package-aligned runtime installation and no concrete malicious behavior, so the scanner's lifecycle and dynamic-execution signals do not establish an attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a terminal command and a postinstall hook that installs its own Python core.
- The installer retrieves uv from astral.sh when uv is absent; this supports the package's core setup.
- The installer skips setup when an existing core version matches or an external core is configured.
Evidence against
- The inspected install code places versioned files under the user's .hum directory and installs the matching hum-cli version.
- The package metadata and inspected installer show no foreign AI-agent configuration writes or credential forwarding.
