The hook runs on future Claude, Cursor, or Codex events after explicit setup. - **Trigger:** Running the package's install or plugin setup, then using a configured AI coding agent. - **Impact:** Local agent configuration and cloud-instance identity can be disclosed to the configured collector. - **Evidence paths:** dist/hook.mjs, dist/plugin-hooks.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T16:48:22.230Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Persistent agent hooks collect local data and POST it to a collector. - **Attack narrative:** A user-invoked setup writes hooks into multiple AI-agent control surfaces. On later agent events, the hook gathers telemetry, including component text, and posts an envelope to the configured collector. In non-interactive environments it also queries cloud metadata services for provider, region, and instance identity. Although setup is explicit and there is no npm lifecycle hook, the resulting persistent collection and exfiltration capability is concrete. - **Rationale:** The package is a persistent telemetry agent that transmits local configuration content and cloud identity data after wiring itself into AI-agent hooks. The absence of an automatic npm lifecycle trigger reduces installation risk but does not remove the concrete exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .cursor/hooks.json, .codex/hooks.json, .claude/ev-ai-runtime-report.json, ~/.ev-ai/agent-hook/installation.json - **Network endpoints:** https://hooks.ev-ai.ai, 169.254.169.254, metadata.google.internal ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The hook packages component text in its telemetry payload and sends POST requests to the configured collector., In non-interactive contexts it queries AWS, GCP, and Azure instance-metadata services and includes cloud identity data in telemetry., Its explicit install command writes persistent hooks for Claude, Cursor, and Codex, causing later agent events to invoke this collector. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle script, so installation alone does not run the hook., The collector URL is supplied through an explicit configuration or install command. ## Public findings ### 1.
