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. Source inspection found guarded, package-aligned monitoring setup and no concrete attack behavior. The scanner’s flagged bandwidth script is a stubbed test fixture, not a hidden executable payload. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T17:26:55.106Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T17:28:03.231Z - **Download time:** 1273 ms - **Static scan time:** 57 ms - **AI review time:** 66793 ms - **Total time:** 68125 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 surface was identified in the inspected source. The install hook configures this monitoring package under guarded conditions, and the flagged test uses a stubbed RPC fixture. - **Trigger:** A global root install on Linux with systemd triggers package setup; runtime commands and scheduled tasks follow the monitor’s CLI and configuration. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was identified in the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T17:28:03.231Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook calls the package’s setup command. The flagged test writes only to a temporary fixture, and the Highway version check is configuration-gated and validates its response. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found guarded, package-aligned monitoring setup and no concrete attack behavior. The scanner’s flagged bandwidth script is a stubbed test fixture, not a hidden executable payload. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest’s postinstall runs the package’s own setup script., The hook skips opt-outs and local installs, and proceeds only for a global root install on Linux with systemd., The entrypoint dispatches normal monitor commands and invokes setup through the package CLI., The flagged bandwidth test stubs its RPC and writes a fixture request under a temporary directory., The Highway version check is configuration-gated and validates the fetched version before caching it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to hyn-view@2.1.0. - Review the evidence and your use of hyn-view@2.1.0 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.

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. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** lib/highway.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() 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@2.0.0 matchedIdentity = npm:aHluLXZpZXc:2.0.0 similarity = 0.571 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 9. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The manifest’s postinstall runs the package’s own setup script.
