The executable payload is absent from the reviewed tarball and may be replaced at the remote release source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T07:50:14.126Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T07:50:43.423Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 110 ms - **AI review time:** 28671 ms - **Total time:** 29297 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall downloads a platform archive, extracts it, and executes its installer. The executable payload is absent from the reviewed tarball and may be replaced at the remote release source. - **Trigger:** npm installation (postinstall) or a package CLI invocation when runtime is absent - **Impact:** Remote release compromise or URL override can cause arbitrary code execution during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/ccb-npm-install.js, bin/ccb-npm-runner.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T07:50:43.423Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote archive download, extraction, and shell execution - **Rationale:** The shipped source establishes an install-time remote-payload execution chain. It does not show credential theft or foreign AI-agent configuration mutation, but the opaque staged executable warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** .ccb-release, .ccb-install.lock, install.sh - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/SeemSeam/claude\_codex\_bridge/releases/download/v${version} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall invokes the downloader., Install fetches a versioned GitHub release archive and SHA256SUMS., The archive is extracted into .ccb-release and its install.sh is run with bash., Checksum comes from the same remote release location, not an embedded trusted digest. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration is present in the shipped JavaScript., The downloader limits itself to a package-local release directory and checks an archive hash. ## Public findings ### 1.
