## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** On npm install, the package downloads a platform archive and runs its extracted shell installer. The executable payload is not included in the inspected package, so its behavior cannot be verified from this source.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Remote release content can execute with the installing user's privileges.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/ccb-npm-install.js, bin/ccb-npm-runner.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T07:51:14.666Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote archive download followed by shell execution

- **Rationale:** The package is a thin postinstall bootstrapper for an opaque remote executable and shell installer. This is a material supply-chain risk but does not, from inspected source alone, prove malicious intent or confirmed data theft.

- **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:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** npm postinstall runs the downloader automatically., Installer fetches an archive and its checksum from a remotely controlled release base URL., Postinstall executes install.sh extracted from that remote archive; checksum is fetched from the same source.

- **Evidence against:** Shipped JavaScript contains no credential harvesting or exfiltration logic., The default endpoint is the package vendor's GitHub release path, and local writes are limited to its package release directory and temporary files.
