The bundled source cannot establish what that remote payload does. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Arbitrary code can execute with the installing user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/ccb-npm-install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T15:19:12.608Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote archive download, extraction, and bash execution - **Attack narrative:** npm automatically invokes the installer. It accepts a release base URL from the environment, downloads both an archive and its checksum from that source, verifies only that pair against each other, extracts the archive into .ccb-release, and runs its install.sh with bash. This creates install-time arbitrary remote code execution without a package-pinned payload digest. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook executes a remotely supplied shell script whose archive and checksum share the same mutable trust source. This is a concrete install-time remote-code-execution chain, not merely a static network primitive. - **Files touched:** .ccb-release, .ccb-release/\/install.sh, .ccb-install.lock - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/SeemSeam/claude\_codex\_bridge/releases/download/v${version} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically runs the downloader., Installer downloads a release archive and its checksum at install time., The checksum is fetched from the same mutable remote source as the archive., Downloaded content is extracted, then its install.sh is run with bash during postinstall., CCB\_NPM\_RELEASE\_BASE\_URL permits replacing the release host via environment. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration appears in the packaged JavaScript., Writes shown are limited to the package-local release and lock directories plus a temporary download directory. ## Public findings ### 1.
