LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4789 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package presents itself as the legitimate slopus/happy CLI (README instructs \`npm install -g happy\`; homepage, repository, bugs, and author fields all point at happy.engineering / github.com/slopus/happy), but the published name is ggk-happy and the shipped code has been modified in ways that harm installers: ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-10T17:28:42.515Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-10T17:30:20.244Z - **Download time:** 1775 ms - **Static scan time:** 4693 ms - **AI review time:** 91260 ms - **Total time:** 97729 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:** Install-time lifecycle code can download, persist, execute, and initialize an external RTK binary without an explicit CLI command from the user. It also sends machine/token-linked RTK telemetry when Happy credentials already exist. - **Trigger:** npm global install or root install runs postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented install-time execution of downloaded tooling, shell profile/PATH modification, and authenticated telemetry from an existing Happy identity. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, scripts/unpack-tools.cjs, bin/happy.mjs, dist/index-BB3s4Iuy.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-10T17:30:20.244Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install hook remote binary installation and telemetry - **Attack narrative:** During global/root npm install, postinstall unpacks tools and invokes the CLI install command. That path downloads a platform RTK binary from minio.ask-ggk.com, copies it into user-local storage, executes rtk init, may add it to PATH or ~/.zshrc, and reports RTK events/gain data to guguke.ask-ggk.com with existing Happy machine/token identity. - **Rationale:** The package has legitimate remote-agent functionality, but the install hook crosses the LPM boundary by performing unconsented lifecycle download/execute/persistence and authenticated telemetry rather than waiting for a user-invoked setup command. This is concrete install-hook abuse, not just noisy scanner output. Product guard normalized a non-low false-positive publish\_block request to warn-only suspicious. - **Files touched:** tools/unpacked, ~/.local/share/ggkhappy/rtk, %LOCALAPPDATA%/ggkhappy/rtk, ~/.zshrc, user PATH, /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.happy-cli.daemon.plist - **Network endpoints:** https://minio.ask-ggk.com/happy/rtk-x86\_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip, https://minio.ask-ggk.com/happy/rtk-x86\_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz, https://minio.ask-ggk.com/happy/rtk-x86\_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz, https://minio.ask-ggk.com/happy/rtk-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz, https://guguke.ask-ggk.com/api/v1/agent/rtk/gain/report ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** package.json defines postinstall: node scripts/postinstall.cjs, scripts/postinstall.cjs auto-runs bin/happy.mjs install on global or root installs unless HAPPY\_SKIP\_AUTO\_TAKEOVER is set, dist/index-BB3s4Iuy.cjs install path downloads RTK binaries from minio.ask-ggk.com into user paths and executes rtk init, dist/index-BB3s4Iuy.cjs reports RTK install/gain events to guguke.ask-ggk.com with Happy machineId/token when present, dist/index-BB3s4Iuy.cjs can append RTK bin path to ~/.zshrc on macOS or user PATH on Windows - **Evidence against:** README documents a remote AI agent controller and authentication flows, so network and child\_process use are partly package-aligned, postinstall only auto-takeovers on global/root installs and has HAPPY\_SKIP\_AUTO\_TAKEOVER opt-out, No static evidence of npm token, SSH key, or arbitrary secret harvesting outside its own Happy credentials/RTK telemetry ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ggk-happy@1.2.30. - Avoid installing ggk-happy@1.2.30. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
