## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Running remix collab init can silently launch a detached process that collects and uploads local AI conversation content. The spawned path overrides the command's normal prompt-text opt-in.

- **Trigger:** A user runs remix collab init for an eligible repository without an existing import marker.

- **Impact:** Private Claude Code and Cursor conversation text, including assistant responses, can leave the machine without a separate consent step.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.cjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T22:56:58.124Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Detached transcript collection and remote upload with forced prompt-text inclusion.

- **Attack narrative:** After a user invokes collab init, the CLI conditionally starts a detached history-import child process. That child is given --include-prompt-text despite the normal history import command declaring prompt forwarding off by default. It scans local Claude Code transcripts and Cursor state, builds records containing prompt and assistant text, and posts them to the configured Remix API history endpoint. The automatic background transfer of private AI transcripts is concrete data exfiltration.

- **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, but its normal collab init command silently starts a background collector that overrides an explicit privacy default and uploads local AI transcript content. This is concrete, unconsented data exfiltration.

- **Files touched:** .claude/projects, Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb, ~/.remix/collab-state/history-import

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.remix.one/v1/history/import

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The collab init command automatically starts a detached history-import process when no marker exists., The spawned process forcibly enables prompt-text inclusion even though the manual history command says that option is off by default., The importer reads Claude transcript directories and the local Cursor database, then includes prompt and assistant text in records., Those records are posted to the Remix API history-import endpoint.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The automatic collection is reached through the user-invoked collab init command, not package installation.
