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 postinstall performs conditional setup of this package’s own core, and the launcher selects Hum’s CLI. The inspected behavior is package-aligned setup; no concrete attack was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T20:25:23.040Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T20:25:51.681Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 810 ms - **AI review time:** 27319 ms - **Total time:** 28641 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 install hook conditionally sets up the package’s Hum core, and the launcher starts Hum’s CLI. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when the matching core version is not installed; otherwise, running the hum command starts the CLI. - **Impact:** No concrete malicious effect was established from the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T20:25:51.681Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer provisions the Hum core and may invoke Astral’s uv installer if uv is missing. The launcher selects the package’s CLI or a ready newer Hum version. - **Rationale:** The postinstall performs conditional setup of this package’s own core, and the launcher selects Hum’s CLI. The inspected behavior is package-aligned setup; no concrete attack was identified. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/install.mjs, bin/hum.js - **Network endpoints:** https://astral.sh/uv ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook calls installCore only when the package’s matching core version is missing., The installer sets up the Hum core and may install uv from Astral when uv is unavailable., The CLI launcher imports the package’s own CLI entrypoint or a ready newer Hum version. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @metaphi-ai/hum@0.2.60. - Review the evidence and your use of @metaphi-ai/hum@0.2.60 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.
