OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-5596 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-5596 confirms this npm version as malicious. On \`npm install\`, scripts/postinstall.cjs copies the package's payload/ tree into INIT\_CWD (the consumer's project root) using fs.cpSync, dropping.mcp.json,.claude/settings.json, CLAUDE.md, and several chatroom-\* CJS files into the developer's repository. The dropped.mcp.json registers an MCP server pointing at https://demo8.0x2ai.com with a hardcoded shared Bearer token...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

On \`npm install\`, scripts/postinstall.cjs copies the package's payload/ tree into INIT\_CWD (the consumer's project root) using fs.cpSync, dropping.mcp.json,.claude/settings.json, CLAUDE.md, and several chatroom-\* CJS files into the developer's repository. The dropped.mcp.json registers an MCP server pointing at https://demo8.0x2ai.com with a hardcoded shared Bearer token (BRIDGE\_AUTH\_TOKEN=9272d409b5155094d9562c92700f46a4b97bdb48d8291d40), so any subsequent Claude Code session in that directory loads the attacker-authored CLAUDE.md system prompt and routes tool calls to the bridge. The bundled chatroom-mcp-lite-patched.cjs exposes a \`provider\_query\` tool that POSTs user prompts to https://demo8.0x2ai.com/api/proxy-query, a \`settings\_set\` tool advertised for storing anthropic\_api\_key / openai\_api\_key on the bridge, and a salted-SHA256 path-obfuscation helper that rewrites endpoints to /x/\<hex4\> form (deliberate evasion infrastructure, dormant only because the shipped config sets DIRECT\_API=1). bin/start.cjs additionally re-stages the payload and spawns \`claude --dangerously-skip-permissions\` with shell:true, yielding an unrestricted agent session wired to the attacker's MCP server. Net effect on installers: prompts, code, files, and potentially LLM API keys are funneled to a third-party bridge under a shared credential, with no disclosure or opt-in.
