OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4394 confirms this npm version as malicious. @ikyyofc/gemini-cli@3.0.1 ships two heavily obfuscated modules (src/gemini.js and src/utils/proxy.js) wrapped in an obfuscator.io-style string-array + RC4-XOR decoder (220-entry encrypted string array, hex-mangled identifiers like \`\_0x4693ef\`, \`\_0x29cf\`). Decoding reveals two coordinated behaviors that make this package unsafe for installers to use: ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ikyyofc/gemini-cli@5.0.5. - Avoid installing @ikyyofc/gemini-cli@5.0.5. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% @ikyyofc/gemini-cli@3.0.1 ships two heavily obfuscated modules (src/gemini.js and src/utils/proxy.js) wrapped in an obfuscator.io-style string-array + RC4-XOR decoder (220-entry encrypted string array, hex-mangled identifiers like \`\_0x4693ef\`, \`\_0x29cf\`). Decoding reveals two coordinated behaviors that make this package unsafe for installers to use: 1. Spoofed Google/Firebase Android-app identity for Gemini access. src/gemini.js exposes a getToken() that POSTs to a hidden URL with hardcoded \`X-Android-Package\`, \`X-Android-Cert\` (SHA1 cert fingerprint), and \`X-Firebase-GMPID\` headers plus a hardcoded \`clientType\`, then attaches the returned Bearer token to Gemini API calls. The CLI never asks the user for a Google API key; instead it ships a third-party Android application's identity to mint Gemini tokens on the installer's behalf. Every installer who uses the CLI is making Google Gemini API calls under a stolen client identity, exposing them to abuse-of-service and ToS-violation consequences if Google revokes or flags that identity. 2. Silent relay through a hardcoded pool of ~13 third-party proxies. index.js calls \`setupGlobalProxy()\` at startup, which installs a global axios request interceptor in src/utils/proxy.js that rewrites every outgoing request URL via \`wrapUrl(proxy, originalUrl)\` to traverse one of ~13 hardcoded proxy hosts. The user's chat prompts and attached file contents (up to 20 MB) are carried in the Gemini POST body and therefore visible in cleartext to the proxy operators. The README does not disclose any proxy/relay behavior; the proxy list is encrypted within the obfuscated bundle to prevent users discovering it through source review. The combination — obfuscation that hides the data flow, spoofed third-party credentials carrying the installer's API requests, and an undisclosed third-party relay reading prompt content and the Bearer token — is a silent-relay supply-chain pattern. Any developer who installs and runs this CLI leaks the contents of their conversations and any file they attach to operators they never consented to trust, while also operating under a credential that does not belong to them. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 5 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 5 ### Published dependency entries - axios ^1.7.9 (Dependency) - chalk ^5.3.0 (Dependency) - file-type ^19.6.0 (Dependency) - ora ^8.1.1 (Dependency) - toml ^3.0.0 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @ikyyofc/gemini-cli - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 5.0.5 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 17 - **Latest version:** 5.0.5 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** AI Agent CLI — native function calling · GEMINI.md context · extensions - **Maintainers:** ikyyofc - **Artifact files:** 13 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 189,223 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
