From 6beb73771af336cb742c313d7226d321ecd3670c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hound Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 23:48:48 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] hound-supply: the supply-chain and agent-era scanner MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Phase 4's detection core, as a standalone crate. This is the part with no competitor on Linux, and deliberately the part with no Linux in it — file parsing and logic only, no fanotify, no /proc, no eBPF — so the macOS and Windows port is weeks rather than a second product. Five detectors, 88 tests: pickle GLOBAL/STACK_GLOBAL walk over .pt/.ckpt/.pkl/.joblib. torch.load runs a stack machine; a model file is a program and downloading weights is a code-execution decision. injection Instructions aimed at a coding agent in CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, copilot-instructions. installscript preinstall/postinstall hooks that curl|sh, decode and run, reach for credentials, or install persistence. typosquat Damerau-Levenshtein against popular names, plus slopsquat detection: new + near-zero downloads + one edit from something popular is the signature of a name a model invented and somebody then registered. mcp Servers fetched unpinned at launch, handed secrets, or pointed at $HOME or credential paths. Wired through `supply.sweep` on the socket and `hound supply-chain `, which exits 1 on a critical so it drops into CI. Three things worth recording: * Scoring is by independent category, not by keyword count. One suspicious phrase is a phrase; two categories at once is an attack. A file that only says "ignore previous instructions about formatting" is a warning, not a critical. * Proximity matters more than presence. The first version flagged an entirely ordinary conventions file, because it mentioned ".env" in one paragraph and "prefer small commits" in another. A credential and a movement verb now have to appear within a sentence of each other. The test that caught it is kept as the regression. * Pickle call detection has to come out of the opcode walk, not a byte search. REDUCE, INST and OBJ are the ASCII letters R, i and o, which also occur inside every string the stream carries — searching raw bytes finds the o in "os" and reports a call that never happens, turning every warning into a critical. Every finding carries a plain-language explanation and a next step, and there is a test asserting explanations do not leak rule identifiers or jargon. The audience includes people who cannot triage a YARA match and should never be shown one. Verified against a demo project holding a squatted @vue plugin with a curl|sh postinstall, a poisoned CLAUDE.md in a vendored repo, an unpinned MCP server holding a GitHub token, and a pickle calling os.system — four criticals and one warning, while the legitimate CLAUDE.md, the real express manifest and the properly-scoped MCP server beside them stayed clean. 189 tests pass across the workspace.
