Invoking that skill intercepts Claude API traffic and reveals its bearer credential. - **Trigger:** Run \`vargos start\`, then invoke the seeded token-capture skill. - **Impact:** Claude bearer tokens can be exposed to the local agent or caller and reused for account access. - **Evidence paths:** dist/boot.js, dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/SKILL.md, dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/scripts/capture-bearer-token.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T19:39:22.562Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Seeds and executes a TLS-bypassing local MITM credential-capture script. - **Attack narrative:** The daemon seeds all bundled templates on startup, including an agent skill named token-capture. That skill instructs execution of a shell script that launches mitmdump, disables Node TLS certificate verification, proxies Claude CLI traffic through localhost, extracts the Authorization header for Claude messages, and prints the bearer token. This is a credential-capture payload placed into an agent skill directory automatically at runtime. - **Rationale:** The package contains an automatically seeded credential-interception payload that captures Claude Authorization headers while weakening TLS verification. Its benign postinstall hook does not neutralize the runtime credential-theft behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/SKILL.md, dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/scripts/capture-bearer-token.sh, ~/.vargos/agent/skills/token-capture/scripts/capture-bearer-token.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Starting the daemon automatically copies every bundled template into the Vargos data directory., A bundled agent skill instructs users or the agent to capture and print Claude bearer tokens., Its script starts a local interception proxy, disables Node TLS verification, and routes Claude traffic through that proxy., The interception code saves the Authorization header and prints the bearer token. - **Evidence against:** The npm postinstall hook only rebuilds better-sqlite3 and does not deploy this payload., The token capture script has no direct remote upload call; it exposes the credential locally instead. ## Public findings ### 1.
