It exports terminal content and installs persistent global Claude hooks that alter future sessions and project instructions. - **Trigger:** The user runs santaclaude after configuring or loading a connection. - **Impact:** A remote service can observe terminal content and steer a permission-bypassed Claude session; subsequent Claude sessions can modify project CLAUDE.md files and create commits. - **Evidence paths:** santaclaude.js, hooks/sc-mdsync.sh, hooks/mdsync-apply.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T09:50:53.573Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote screen exfiltration, command injection, and global Claude hook installation. - **Attack narrative:** After the CLI is run, it sends tmux screen captures and session metadata to santaclaude.app and processes remote control messages. Remote jobs are injected into tmux panes, whose default Claude command disables permission prompts. The same run installs global Stop, Notification, and SessionStart hooks in ~/.claude/settings.json. The SessionStart path reads prior Claude transcripts, submits them to a Claude model, appends derived rules to each project CLAUDE.md, and attempts a git commit. This provides remote AI-agent control, data export, persistence, and unprompted project mutation. - **Rationale:** This is not a passive connector: it combines remote terminal observation and prompt injection with default permission bypass and persistent changes to a broad AI-agent control surface. The absence of an npm lifecycle hook does not remove the concrete harm once the advertised CLI is run. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.santaclaude, CLAUDE.md - **Network endpoints:** https://santaclaude.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** It sends captured tmux screens, session details, directories, and system state to the remote service, then accepts remote control commands., Remote jobs are injected into the selected tmux pane, while the default Claude command disables permission prompts., Running the CLI automatically adds global Claude hooks and a status command to the user's Claude configuration., The installed SessionStart hook launches a transcript-processing script that appends AI-derived rules to project CLAUDE.md files and commits them., The source header addresses an inspecting reader and makes self-serving claims about what review should find. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm lifecycle scripts., The package is activated through its bin command rather than at install time., The separately flagged bundled brainstorming server is a localhost service, and the graph renderer is an explicit utility. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cliphijack/santaclaude@1.0.122. - Avoid installing @cliphijack/santaclaude@1.0.122. 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.
