The package contains no pinned artifact hash or bundled installer for this code path. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes postinstall. - **Impact:** A party controlling the release asset, checksum, configured release URL, or accepted redirect can cause code to run during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/ccb-npm-install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T09:46:44.333Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote archive download followed by shell execution of its extracted installer. - **Attack narrative:** The npm postinstall hook invokes the installer without a user command. It downloads both an archive and its SHA256SUMS file from a remotely configurable release location, accepts redirects, extracts the archive into .ccb-release, then runs the archive's install.sh through bash. Because the expected checksum is supplied by the same remote location and is not pinned in the reviewed package, it does not authenticate the downloaded code. This creates automatic remote code execution in the install environment. - **Rationale:** This package has a concrete install-time remote payload execution path. The same-origin checksum check does not constrain a compromised or substituted release response, so the automatic postinstall behavior warrants blocking. - **Files touched:** .ccb-install.lock, .ccb-release - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/SeemSeam/claude\_codex\_bridge/releases/download/v8.6.15 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The postinstall hook automatically runs the downloader during npm installation., The downloader fetches a release archive and its checksum from the same remote release location, so the checksum is not pinned in this package., It extracts the remotely supplied archive into the package and runs its included install.sh with bash., The download helper follows up to five redirects, allowing the fetched executable content to come from a redirected endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The visible JavaScript does not harvest credentials or upload local data., The visible installer limits its direct package writes to its release and lock directories. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @seemseam/ccb@8.6.15. - Avoid installing @seemseam/ccb@8.6.15. 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.
