## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No install-time execution or confirmed malicious chain was found. Runtime monitoring, cloud telemetry, notifications, and optional updates are activated through the CLI and explicit setup/link configuration.

- **Trigger:** User runs hyn commands; scheduled services require explicit root-run \`hyn setup\`, and cloud actions require linking.

- **Impact:** Can read host monitoring data and send it to configured services; no unconsented exfiltration, foreign control-surface write, or payload execution was found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-24T05:57:09.832Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** System monitoring with opt-in telemetry, notifications, and self-update support.

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection found a package-aligned Linux monitoring CLI with no lifecycle hooks. The test mock is local-only, while cloud configuration validates transport and filters remote settings; no concrete malicious behavior is established.

- **Files touched:** /etc/hyn-view/config, /etc/hyn-view/secrets, /var/lib/hyn-view, /etc/systemd/system/hyn-\*.service, /etc/systemd/system/hyn-\*.timer

- **Network endpoints:** https://www.hyn-view.in/api/agent/v1, https://registry.npmjs.org, https://speed.cloudflare.com, https://api.resend.com/emails, https://api.brevo.com/v3/smtp/email, https://api.telegram.org, https://ntfy.sh

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Manifest has bin entrypoints and test scripts only; no npm lifecycle hook., Cloud RPC requires a configured URL and linked node token, and rejects non-HTTPS remote URLs., Portal configuration is filtered through an allowlist/value validator before caching., Flagged Python file is a localhost test mock, not a shipped runtime payload.

- **Evidence against:** The linked monitoring feature sends collected telemetry to its configured cloud API., Its configured auto-update path can invoke npm install for hyn-view and restart only its own timers after explicit setup/linking.

## 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@1.7.0/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 = 7860
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@1.7.0/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 = 7860
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@1.7.0/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@1.5.0
matchedIdentity = npm:aHluLXZpZXc:1.5.0
similarity = 0.667
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```

### 6. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 95.0%
- **Path:** lib/cloud.sh
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/hyn-view@1.7.0/lib/cloud.sh>)

Cloud RPC requires a configured URL and linked node token, and rejects non-HTTPS remote URLs.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```text
[[ -n $url ]] || { CLOUD_LAST_ERR='cloud API URL is not set'; return 1; }
  if [[ -n ${CFG[cloud_url]} && -n $key ]]; then
    mode=direct
    endpoint="$url/rest/v1/rpc/$fn"
  else
    endpoint="$url/$fn"
  fi
  # The node token travels in this request body. Over http it would cross every
  # hop in clear text, and a monitoring agent is exactly the kind of long-lived
  # unattended credential nobody notices leaking. Loopback is exempt because a
  # request that never leaves the machine cannot be intercepted on the wire --
  # that is also how the mock endpoint in test/cloud-integration.sh
```
