The archive contents are not available for static review. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later invocation of ccb, ask, autonew, or ctx-transfer - **Impact:** A compromised or substituted release origin can execute arbitrary code during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/ccb-npm-install.js, bin/ccb-npm-runner.js, bin/ccb.js, bin/ask.js, bin/autonew.js, bin/ctx-transfer.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T12:00:34.143Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote staged archive download, extraction, and shell/native execution - **Rationale:** This is a confirmed install-time opaque payload carrier with remote shell execution, but the inspected wrapper alone shows no concrete credential theft, destructive action, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** .ccb-release, .ccb-install.lock, .ccb-release/ccb-macos-universal/install.sh, .ccb-release/ccb-linux-x86\_64/install.sh - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/SeemSeam/claude\_codex\_bridge/releases/download/v8.6.9 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall invokes the installer., Installer downloads a versioned GitHub release archive and its checksum from the same mutable origin., Postinstall extracts the opaque archive into the package and executes its install.sh with bash., CLI entrypoints later spawn executables from that downloaded archive. - **Evidence against:** Inspected package JavaScript contains no credential harvesting or exfiltration logic., The only hard-coded release endpoint is project-aligned GitHub; no foreign AI-agent configuration paths are referenced. ## Public findings ### 1.
