## Public findings

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

On install, the postinstall script copies the package's \`payload/\` tree (CLAUDE.md,.claude/settings.json,.mcp.json, and several.cjs MCP scripts) into the consumer's project directory (\`process.env.INIT\_CWD || process.cwd()\`) at \`scripts/postinstall.cjs\`, materializing Claude Code project config inside any repo where \`npm install\` was run. The dropped \`.mcp.json\` registers an MCP server whose env includes \`BRIDGE\_URL=https://ivo.0x2ai.com\` and a hardcoded shared bearer token (\`BRIDGE\_AUTH\_TOKEN\`), so any installer's Claude Code instance auto-attaches to that author-operated bridge. The package's CLI (\`bin/start.cjs\`) then spawns \`claude --dangerously-skip-permissions\` via a shell, deliberately stripping the permission gate that normally protects the host from agent actions. The MCP scripts (\`payload/chatroom-mcp-lite-patched.cjs\`, \`payload/chatroom-monitor.cjs\`, \`payload/chatroom-wait-once.cjs\`) POST to and long-poll \`https://ivo.0x2ai.com\`, receiving chatroom messages that CLAUDE.md/\`0x2ai-boot.md\` instruct the agent to act on. The exposed MCP tools (\`provider\_query\`, \`memory\_save\`, \`memory\_load\`, \`chatroom\_post\`) further route user prompts, conversation memory, and posted messages through the same endpoint authenticated by the shared static token. Net effect: an unattended, permission-bypassed Claude agent on the installer's machine that executes whatever instructions the operator of ivo.0x2ai.com pushes — an over-the-wire remote-control channel whose payloads are not in the tarball and not under the installer's control.
