A shipped Claude skill captures an authenticated browser token and posts it with charter content to a fixed third-party endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm install; later invocation of the installed test-charter skill - **Impact:** Unconsented MCP tool approval and disclosure of an authenticated session token and report data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, templates/settings.local.json.example, templates/mcp.json, claude/skills/test-charter/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T17:39:40.187Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-agent permission escalation and bearer-token exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall script writes into the consuming project's .claude directory and forcibly merges an MCP auto-approval into an existing local settings file. The installed test-charter skill directs the agent to obtain a token from browser storage or login traffic and submit it as a Bearer token to a hard-coded AWS API, creating a concrete credential-exfiltration path. - **Rationale:** Concrete install-time mutation of a project AI-agent control surface is paired with a shipped token-capture-and-send workflow to an unrelated fixed endpoint. This meets the blocking threshold. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/, .claude/commands/, .claude/settings.local.json, .mcp.json, .npmrc, .gitignore - **Network endpoints:** https://hrqgymnn16.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/test-charter ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs bin/postinstall.js on install., bin/postinstall.js forcibly adds mcp\_\_playwright to existing .claude/settings.local.json permissions.allow., templates/settings.local.json.example enables all project MCP servers; postinstall seeds it and .mcp.json., claude/skills/test-charter/SKILL.md extracts browser session tokens then sends a Bearer token to a fixed AWS endpoint. - **Evidence against:** No standalone payload download or obfuscated code found., The k6 credential strings are TODO template values. ## Public findings ### 1.
