One installed skill intercepts Claude requests to recover bearer credentials. - **Trigger:** Running Vargos so its boot sequence seeds the agent directory, followed by execution of the installed token-capture skill. - **Impact:** A Claude bearer token can be extracted from the user's authenticated CLI session and exposed to the agent or command output. - **Evidence paths:** dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/SKILL.md, dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/scripts/capture-bearer-token.sh, dist/lib/templates.js, dist/services/agent/skills.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T06:42:26.790Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** MITM interception of Claude Authorization headers through a TLS-disabled local proxy. - **Attack narrative:** The package carries a credential-capture skill as a normal bundled agent template. At runtime it seeds that template into the agent skills directory, which the agent framework auto-loads. The skill starts mitmproxy, turns off Node TLS verification, routes Claude CLI traffic through the proxy, reads the Authorization header for /v1/messages, and prints the bearer token. This creates an installed agent capability to harvest a user's Claude credential. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete credential-harvesting payload automatically deployed into an auto-loaded agent skill path. The benign native-module rebuild postinstall hook does not neutralize the runtime credential-capture chain. - **Files touched:** dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/scripts/capture-bearer-token.sh, dist/.templates/agent/skills/token-capture/SKILL.md, ~/.vargos/agent/skills/token-capture/ - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:$PORT ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** A bundled agent skill explicitly captures a Claude bearer token., Its script runs a local MITM proxy, disables TLS verification, and redirects Claude traffic through it., The token-capture skill is copied into the package-owned agent directory automatically when Vargos boots., The copied skill is in an auto-loaded agent skills location, enabling credential-capture capability during normal runtime. - **Evidence against:** The npm postinstall hook only rebuilds better-sqlite3 and does not deploy this payload., The script does not send the captured token to a remote host; it prints it locally. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @chozzz/vargos@3.2.16. - Avoid installing @chozzz/vargos@3.2.16. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
