The archive and its checksum are both fetched from the same mutable release base, so the included digest check is not an independent authenticity control. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-17T02:15:09.969Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-17T02:16:05.669Z - **Download time:** 1032 ms - **Static scan time:** 107 ms - **AI review time:** 54560 ms - **Total time:** 55700 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm installation downloads a release archive, extracts it into the package directory, and runs archive-supplied shell code. The archive and its checksum are both fetched from the same mutable release base, so the included digest check is not an independent authenticity control. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, and later any package CLI invocation when runtime is absent - **Impact:** A compromised or substituted release response can execute arbitrary code in the installing user's context. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/ccb-npm-install.js, bin/ccb-npm-runner.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T02:16:05.669Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote archive download, extraction, and shell bootstrap - **Rationale:** Source inspection does not establish malicious intent or a concrete theft/destruction payload. It does establish an unsafe postinstall remote-code path whose integrity check is not independently authenticated, warranting a warning. - **Files touched:** .ccb-release, .ccb-install.lock, install.sh, .npm-runtime-bin - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/SeemSeam/claude\_codex\_bridge/releases/download/v${version} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall invokes the installer automatically., Installer downloads an archive and SHA256SUMS from a mutable release URL., The checksum is fetched from the same unpinned source as the executable archive., Installer extracts the archive then executes its install.sh with inherited environment. - **Evidence against:** Included JavaScript is a thin, package-aligned CLI/bootstrap wrapper., No credential harvesting or exfiltration code is present in the shipped JavaScript entrypoints., The release URL is a named project GitHub release path and the installer performs a digest comparison. ## Public findings ### 1.
