Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has no install hook, but its guest-session launcher injects owner Anthropic credentials into a sandboxed guest Claude process without a guest-specific consent gate. This is a concrete agent capability risk, while the inspected source does not establish credential theft or a separate credential recipient. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T23:37:53.615Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T23:40:23.150Z - **Download time:** 2312 ms - **Static scan time:** 21671 ms - **AI review time:** 125552 ms - **Total time:** 149535 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The guest Claude launcher copies the owner’s Anthropic authentication settings into a persona guest session. This gives the guest-launched process access to the owner’s configured provider credentials. - **Trigger:** The daemon creates a Claude session in persona guest scope. - **Impact:** A guest session can use the owner’s configured Anthropic access, creating potential account or usage exposure. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T23:40:23.150Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher reads \`~/.claude/settings.json\` and merges Anthropic environment values and \`apiKeyHelper\` into the guest’s launch settings after composing its filesystem sandbox. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hook, but its guest-session launcher injects owner Anthropic credentials into a sandboxed guest Claude process without a guest-specific consent gate. This is a concrete agent capability risk, while the inspected source does not establish credential theft or a separate credential recipient. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.cjs, ~/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes the \`clawd\` CLI; its listed scripts are build, development, and test commands, with no install hook., Guest sessions require persona scope and a guest work directory, and the launcher composes guest sandbox settings before creating a Claude session., The launcher reads the owner’s \`~/.claude/settings.json\` and collects string-valued \`ANTHROPIC\_\` environment entries and \`apiKeyHelper\`., For guest Claude sessions, it merges those owner values into the guest launch settings and records that credentials were injected., The CLI’s \`.claude/projects\` match is a transcript helper that appends a \`turn\_duration\` system row at turn end when a transcript exists., The three App Builder matches point to the bundled \`app-builder-projects\` skill’s \`collect-files.mjs\` path, used by the publish flow to verify project files. - **Evidence against:** The guest launcher enables filesystem sandboxing and disallows unsandboxed commands, but those controls do not remove the owner credentials merged into guest settings. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @clawos-dev/clawd@0.2.678. - Review the evidence and your use of @clawos-dev/clawd@0.2.678 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
