## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The install hook performs disclosed local UI/product-name rebranding of its direct harness dependency. Runtime network use is for the Token Harbor authentication/model service; no confirmed malicious attack surface was found.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall; user runs the halyard CLI or login command.

- **Impact:** No exfiltration, remote payload execution, destructive action, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation identified.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/rebrand.mjs, bin/auth.mjs, bin/halyard.mjs, bin/credentials.mjs, profile/halyard.patch.yml

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T11:03:42.263Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Local rebranding plus user-invoked harness and authentication launcher.

- **Rationale:** The lifecycle write is a constrained, disclosed rebranding operation on the package’s direct harness dependency. Source inspection found no concrete malicious chain or unconsented broad agent-control mutation.

- **Files touched:** node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/\*/lib/\*, node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/\*/dist/\*, ~/.halyard/credentials.json, ~/.halyard/.credentials.yaml, ~/.halyard/settings.yaml

- **Network endpoints:** https://tokenharbor.ai/api/cli/auth/init, https://tokenharbor.ai/api/cli/auth/status, https://tokenharbor.ai/v1/models, https://registry.npmjs.org/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Postinstall invokes a local rebranding script., The hook rewrites installed @deepseek-ai lib/dist text and UI branding.

- **Evidence against:** No credential or workspace harvesting/exfiltration found., Authentication network calls occur only during user-invoked CLI login and use tokenharbor.ai., Launcher uses a separate ~/.halyard home and starts the declared harness with its overlay.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@tokenharbor/halyard@0.2.11/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node bin/rebrand.mjs || true
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@tokenharbor/halyard@0.2.11/package.json>)

- **Confidence:** 85.0%
- **Path:** bin/auth.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@tokenharbor/halyard@0.2.11/bin/auth.mjs>)

A single source file combines environment access, network access, and code or shell execution; review context before blocking.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L10: 
L11: import { spawn } from "node:child_process";
L12: import { chmodSync, mkdirSync, readFileSync, writeFileSync } from "node:fs";
...
L14: 
L15: const API_BASE = process.env.HALYARD_API_BASE ?? "https://tokenharbor.ai";

### 12. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 13. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** bin/auth.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@tokenharbor/halyard@0.2.11/bin/auth.mjs>)

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = @tokenharbor/halyard@0.2.6
matchedPath = bin/auth.mjs
matchedIdentity = npm:QHRva2VuaGFyYm9yL2hhbHlhcmQ:0.2.6
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
```
