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. Inspected source shows a guarded, repair-only postinstall path and CLI-exposed agent integration. The static warnings do not establish malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T05:43:47.722Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T05:44:25.789Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 3285 ms - **AI review time:** 34270 ms - **Total time:** 38067 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 confirmed attack surface was identified. The install hook only attempts repair of a previously installed Codex wrapper, and agent integration is exposed through CLI setup. - **Trigger:** Package installation invokes the postinstall wrapper; CLI commands can explicitly install agent integrations. - **Impact:** No unconsented broad agent configuration mutation, credential exfiltration, or other concrete attack behavior was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T05:44:25.789Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall calls a repair routine that requires existing wrapper metadata. The inspected integration declarations expose install and uninstall functions. - **Rationale:** Inspected source shows a guarded, repair-only postinstall path and CLI-exposed agent integration. The static warnings do not establish malicious behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall entry invokes a small wrapper that imports the compiled postinstall module., The postinstall module attempts wrapper repair; repair returns without changing anything when no prior wrapper metadata exists., Repair is limited to an existing opted-in Codex wrapper, while integration installation is exposed through the CLI., Capture code reads the user's Claude project directory as local input; inspected code shows no network send there., The embedding provider uses an API-backed embedding path, consistent with the package's stated embedding functionality. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to hippo-memory@1.52.8. - Review the evidence and your use of hippo-memory@1.52.8 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.
