hippo-memory@1.70.0
Make your agent's memory work like a brain. Hippo is long-term memory for coding agents.
AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found a local postinstall dispatcher whose module performs a repair check and prints setup prompts. Agent configuration changes and scheduled maintenance are reached through explicit initialization, and no concrete malicious behavior was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Package installation triggers postinstall; agent integrations and scheduled maintenance require the user to run hippo init.
Impact
No confirmed attack surface was established. Explicit setup changes agent configuration and registers project maintenance, but is user-invoked.
Mechanism
Postinstall does not invoke agent initialization. The explicit init command detects existing agent files, patches instruction files and installs hooks; the scheduler records workspaces for daily maintenance.
AI rationale
Source inspection found a local postinstall dispatcher whose module performs a repair check and prints setup prompts. Agent configuration changes and scheduled maintenance are reached through explicit initialization, and no concrete malicious behavior was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package manifest routes postinstall to a local script, which then imports the package’s local postinstall module.
- Agent hook detection is in the explicit init command; the install hook does not invoke it.
- The scheduler records workspaces and runs maintenance commands for registered projects.
- Server requests use the detected Hippo server and the package’s configured API key.
- The support bundle collects environment variable names and redacts configuration values with secret-like keys.
- The postinstall module’s remaining behavior prints setup prompts; it does not write agent settings.
Evidence against
- The package has a postinstall lifecycle hook, and explicit initialization can modify detected agent instruction files and install hooks.
- The code includes optional dynamic module resolution for Transformers.js dependencies.
