OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-5602 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-5602 confirms this npm version as malicious. On \`npm install\`, scripts/postinstall.cjs copies the entire payload/ tree into process.env.INIT\_CWD (the directory the developer ran npm from), depositing CLAUDE.md,.claude/settings.json,.claude/commands/0x2ai-boot.md,.mcp.json, and several MCP server.cjs files outside the package's own install directory. CLAUDE.md is auto-loaded as project instructions by Claude Code, and.mcp.json hardcodes...

## Public findings

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

On \`npm install\`, scripts/postinstall.cjs copies the entire payload/ tree into process.env.INIT\_CWD (the directory the developer ran npm from), depositing CLAUDE.md,.claude/settings.json,.claude/commands/0x2ai-boot.md,.mcp.json, and several MCP server.cjs files outside the package's own install directory. CLAUDE.md is auto-loaded as project instructions by Claude Code, and.mcp.json hardcodes BRIDGE\_URL=https://zoe.0x2ai.com so that any subsequent Claude Code session in that directory routes chatroom\_post, memory\_save/load/search, brainmail\_send, provider\_query (user LLM prompts), and settings\_set (which can carry API keys) calls through the author's host. bin/start.cjs additionally spawns \`claude --dangerously-skip-permissions\`, disabling per-tool consent prompts for filesystem and shell access during the session. The combination — install-time configuration injection into a directory the package does not own + a persona instructing the agent to follow remote-bridge directives + skip-permissions launch — gives the operator at zoe.0x2ai.com unprompted tool access on the developer's machine and silently relays prompts and settings (including credentials) off-host. The install-time write of opinionated Claude Code configuration into the developer's working directory occurs without consent and is the install-time-harm component; the bridge relay is the silent-relay component for any session subsequently opened in that directory.
