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:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T08:50:15.771Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T08:51:46.692Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 786 ms - **AI review time:** 89624 ms - **Total time:** 90921 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A user-run CLI persists a launcher and shell alias, then exposes commands that install Claude Code routing configuration. License activation sends a derived host identifier to the package's licensing server. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI or explicitly executing a setup command shown by its local web interface. - **Impact:** Future shell sessions can invoke the package through an alias; the setup scripts can change Claude Code routing and send supplied credentials to the configured upstream service. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, dist/utils/shortcut.js, dist/server.js, public/index.html - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T08:51:46.692Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Shell-profile persistence and user-invoked AI client configuration. - **Rationale:** No automatic npm lifecycle attack or self-dependent install chain is present, so a publish block is not justified. The package nevertheless performs persistent shell changes and user-invoked Claude configuration with credential-routing capability. - **Files touched:** ~/.local/bin/aiclaude, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.grok-router/machine-id, ~/.grok-router/license.json - **Network endpoints:** aiclaude.freepro.online, auth.x.ai, cli-chat-proxy.grok.com, registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Running the CLI automatically invokes shortcut setup after the server starts., Shortcut setup writes a launcher and appends an alias to shell profiles., The local web interface promotes pipe-to-shell commands that configure Claude Code., The server derives a machine identifier from host and network-interface data and sends it with license activation. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., There is no self-dependency or hidden secondary package installation., Network requests support the stated gateway, licensing, authentication, and update functions; no secret harvesting beyond supplied account or license data was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
