## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package is a system-monitor CLI with explicit setup, optional notifications, and opt-in cloud telemetry.

- **Trigger:** User runs the hyn CLI; privileged integration requires explicit root-run setup or link commands.

- **Impact:** No install-time execution, credential harvesting, remote payload execution, or stealth persistence was found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/hyn, lib/core.sh, lib/cloud.sh, lib/update.sh, lib/setup.sh, test/cloud-mock.py

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T15:24:29.550Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Local monitoring with opt-in telemetry and notifications.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no malicious chain. Network, privileged setup, and update capabilities are package-aligned and user-invoked rather than install-time behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook., bin/hyn is a Bash CLI entrypoint that only loads package-local libraries., Cloud telemetry is disabled by default and pairing requires an explicit root-run \`hyn link\`., Cloud configuration permits only a narrow allowlist; test mock attacker values are rejection fixtures., Systemd files and privileged paths are written only by explicit root-run setup/link commands., test/cloud-mock.py is a localhost test server, not shipped runtime payload execution.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Medium: Ships Build Helper
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 70.0%
- **Path:** test/cloud-mock.py
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/hyn-view@1.5.0/test/cloud-mock.py>)

Package ships non-JavaScript build or shell helper files.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```python
path = test/cloud-mock.py
kind = build_helper
sizeBytes = 5633
magicHex = [redacted]
```

### 3. High: Payload In Excluded Dir
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 85.0%
- **Path:** test/cloud-mock.py
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/hyn-view@1.5.0/test/cloud-mock.py>)

Package hides binary, compressed, or executable-looking payloads in test/fixture/hidden paths.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```python
path = test/cloud-mock.py
kind = payload_in_excluded_dir
sizeBytes = 5633
magicHex = [redacted]
```

### 4. 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.

### 5. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** lib/core.sh
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/hyn-view@1.5.0/lib/core.sh>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```shell
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = hyn-view@1.4.0
matchedIdentity = npm:aHluLXZpZXc:1.4.0
similarity = 0.429
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
