Harness Intelligence scaffolding CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no npm lifecycle hook, hidden execution chain, credential harvesting, or confirmed exfiltration. The flagged archive and command primitives are consistent with a user-invoked scaffolding CLI and its bundled tools.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs hi or hint, or explicitly invokes a bundled scaffold helper.
Impact
Selected project files may be scaffolded or formatted; no unconsented exfiltration or install-time persistence was confirmed.
Mechanism
User-invoked local scaffolding, formatting, repository inspection, and optional update checking.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no npm lifecycle hook, hidden execution chain, credential harvesting, or confirmed exfiltration. The flagged archive and command primitives are consistent with a user-invoked scaffolding CLI and its bundled tools.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes only user-invoked hi and hint executables and has no install lifecycle hook.
- The bundled formatter limits targets to repository-relative formattable files and stages formatting before publication.
- The timesheet helper runs git only after required command-line arguments select repositories.
- The compressed baseline is a bundled scaffold archive, not an automatically executed lifecycle payload.
Evidence against
- The CLI can check npm for updates and asks before installing an update.
- The bundled hook can run formatters and modify explicitly selected edited files.
