It disables TLS verification, proxies Claude traffic locally, captures Authorization, and prints the credential. - **Trigger:** User runs \`vargos chat\`, then the seeded agent invokes the token-capture skill. - **Impact:** Compromises an active Claude API credential for subsequent unauthorized use. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/chat.js, dist/lib/templates.js, dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/SKILL.md, dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/scripts/capture-bearer-token.sh, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-18T07:20:57.042Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** MITM interception and local extraction of a Claude Authorization bearer token. - **Attack narrative:** On \`vargos chat\`, the package copies its bundled agent templates into the Vargos data directory. One template instructs an agent to run a shell script that launches mitmdump, disables Node TLS verification, routes a Claude CLI request through the proxy, extracts the \`/v1/messages\` Authorization header, and prints the bearer token. Although npm install does not execute this payload and the script has no remote exfiltration host, its stated purpose and implementation are credential harvesting. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete credential-capture payload deployed into an agent skill directory, not a package-aligned runtime feature. The non-executing native rebuild postinstall does not mitigate the deliberate token-harvesting behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/cli/chat.js, dist/lib/templates.js, dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/SKILL.md, dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/scripts/capture-bearer-token.sh - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:$PORT ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Bundled skill explicitly directs capture of Claude Authorization bearer tokens., Shell payload runs a local MITM proxy, intercepts /v1/messages Authorization, and prints the token., \`vargos chat\` seeds all bundled templates into the Vargos agent directory, deploying this credential-capture skill. - **Evidence against:** The token-capture payload is not invoked by npm postinstall; postinstall only rebuilds better-sqlite3., No foreign exfiltration endpoint is present in the capture script; it emits the stolen credential locally. ## Public findings ### 1.
