This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T04:46:19.669Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T04:48:33.931Z - **Download time:** 257 ms - **Static scan time:** 893 ms - **AI review time:** 133111 ms - **Total time:** 134262 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-run CLI persists an aiclaude shortcut and operates a credential-bearing AI proxy. It also identifies the host during license activation. - **Trigger:** The user runs the aiclaude CLI or activates a license. - **Impact:** It changes shell startup files and can route AI requests using remotely provisioned credentials. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, dist/utils/shortcut.js, dist/server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T04:48:33.931Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Persistent shell shortcut setup and license-provisioned token proxying. - **Rationale:** The source shows a user-invoked persistent setup and opaque license credential provisioning, which warrants a warning. It has no registry install lifecycle hook or demonstrated automatic secret theft. - **Files touched:** bin/cli.js, dist/utils/shortcut.js, dist/server.js, ~/.local/bin/aiclaude, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile - **Network endpoints:** aiclaude.freepro.online, cli-chat-proxy.grok.com, auth.x.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Running the CLI starts a server and then automatically invokes persistent shortcut setup., The CLI presents one-click commands that pipe locally served scripts into Bash, PowerShell, or CMD., The bundled server creates a machine identifier from host and network-interface data and sends it with license activation to a third-party license host., The bundled server accepts license-supplied token data and uses it to authenticate requests to the Grok proxy. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, postinstall, or preinstall lifecycle hook., The persistence and network activity occur only after the user runs the CLI., No source evidence showed arbitrary local-file harvesting or an automatic install-time payload. ## Public findings ### 1.
