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. The postinstall behavior is limited to guarded setup of this package's monitoring service, and the flagged bandwidth file is an isolated test fixture. The inspected source shows no concrete attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T19:15:20.710Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T19:15:53.266Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 48 ms - **AI review time:** 32003 ms - **Total time:** 32556 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 attack was identified. The install hook performs package-aligned system setup only under guarded global root conditions. - **Trigger:** npm install invokes postinstall; local installs, non-Linux systems, non-root runs, or systems without systemd exit without configuring services. - **Impact:** No malicious effect was established from the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T19:15:53.266Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** On eligible systems, the hook invokes this package's setup command to configure its monitoring services and timers. - **Rationale:** The postinstall behavior is limited to guarded setup of this package's monitoring service, and the flagged bandwidth file is an isolated test fixture. The inspected source shows no concrete attack behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json binds postinstall to the package's setup script., The postinstall hook skips local installs and only continues for global installs., The hook calls this package's own setup command; setup creates a root-only secrets file., test/bandwidth.sh uses a temporary workspace and removes it on exit; it contains test logic, not a hidden payload., bin/hyn loads the package's own library modules as its command entrypoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to hyn-view@2.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of hyn-view@2.0.0 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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = bash scripts/postinstall.sh ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = bash scripts/postinstall.sh ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Ships Build Helper - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 70.0% - **Path:** test/bandwidth.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() Package ships non-JavaScript build or shell helper files. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```shell path = test/bandwidth.sh kind = build_helper sizeBytes = 3906 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 5. High: Payload In Excluded Dir - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** test/bandwidth.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() Package hides binary, compressed, or executable-looking payloads in test/fixture/hidden paths. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```shell path = test/bandwidth.sh kind = payload_in_excluded_dir sizeBytes = 3906 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 6. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 7. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** bin/hyn - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 1 ``` ### 8. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json binds postinstall to the package's setup script. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "postinstall": "bash scripts/postinstall.sh", "test": "bash test/selfcheck.sh && bash test/cloud-integration.sh && bash test/update-workflow.sh && bash test/local-storage.sh && ``` ### 9. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** test/bandwidth.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() test/bandwidth.sh uses a temporary workspace and removes it on exit; it contains test logic, not a hidden payload. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text WORK=$(mktemp -d) trap 'rm -rf "$WORK"' EXIT export HYN_PROC="$WORK/proc" export HYN_VAR="$WORK/state" HYN_ETC="$WORK/etc" XDG_STATE_HOME="$WORK/user-state" mkdir -p "$HYN_PROC/net ``` ### 10.

Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** scripts/postinstall.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() The postinstall hook skips local installs and only continues for global installs. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text case ${npm[redacted]:-} in true | 1) ;; *) say 'local install detected; not configuring system services' say 'run `sudo hyn setup` if this was meant to be a global ``` ### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** scripts/postinstall.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() The hook calls this package's own setup command; setup creates a root-only secrets file. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text if "$exe" setup --no-wizard; then say 'ready. Monitoring is scheduled.' # Only mention pairing when it has not already happened, so a reinstall on a # linked box does not rea ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** hyn-view - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.0.0 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-09-21T20:01:48.445Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-06T21:29:43.148Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-10-15T17:28:03.231Z - **Known versions:** 11 - **Latest version:** 2.1.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Network-first, ultra-low-overhead terminal system monitor for Ubuntu Server.
