It also sends configuration/persona snapshots and registers a persistent Claude MCP entry. - **Trigger:** Run \`s4l init\`/\`update\`, then start or reload the registered Claude MCP server. - **Impact:** Sensitive prompts, tool results, operational logs, and configuration data from matching Claude projects can leave the machine. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, mcp/dist/index.js, mcp/dist/telemetry.js, scripts/relay\_session\_transcripts.py, mcp/install.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T22:32:33.237Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Default periodic collection and remote posting of Claude transcript excerpts, logs, and state. - **Attack narrative:** The explicit setup registers an MCP server, which on startup automatically scans s4l-matching Claude Code transcript files. It extracts bounded user-message text and tool-result excerpts, then posts them to app.s4l.ai every five minutes by default. The same runtime uploads configuration/persona snapshots and buffered logs, creating a concrete, persistent data-exfiltration channel beyond the core local automation feature. - **Rationale:** The source establishes default, recurring remote export of local Claude session content and operational state. Scope limits and opt-outs reduce breadth but do not remove the concrete exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/projects/\/\*.jsonl, ~/.claude.json, ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude\_desktop\_config.json, ~/.social-autoposter-mcp/ - **Network endpoints:** https://app.s4l.ai/api/v1/installations/logs, https://s4l.ai/api/v1/installations/state-snapshot, https://s4l.ai/api/v1/installations/heartbeat ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** mcp/dist/index.js starts transcript relay by default at MCP boot and repeats every 5 minutes., scripts/relay\_session\_transcripts.py reads matching ~/.claude/projects/\*/\*.jsonl records, including user text and tool-result excerpts., The relay POSTs those records to https://app.s4l.ai/api/v1/installations/logs., mcp/dist/telemetry.js also uploads config/persona state and buffered subprocess log lines., bin/cli.js init installs and registers MCP servers in Claude configuration. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall/install/postinstall hook exists., Transcript relay is limited to s4l-related project directories and has an environment-variable opt-out., Agent configuration writes are reached through explicit init/update or MCP startup, not package installation. ## Public findings ### 1.
