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:** 2026-09-05T00:58:35.301Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T00:59:53.732Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 830 ms - **AI review time:** 77098 ms - **Total time:** 78431 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When a user starts the CLI, it persistently adds a shortcut. A separately user-invoked setup script changes Claude Code configuration to use the package's local gateway, which can forward requests to its configured upstream. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI, followed by the displayed Claude setup command. - **Impact:** Claude Code traffic can be redirected through the local gateway; the shortcut also changes future shell behavior. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, dist/utils/shortcut.js, dist/server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T00:59:53.732Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Persistent shell shortcut and explicit Claude Code environment/configuration rewrite. - **Rationale:** This package has no install lifecycle hook, but its normal CLI flow persists shell changes and provides an explicit script that rewrites a foreign AI agent's configuration. The behavior warrants a warning rather than a block because the control-surface mutation requires a separate user command. - **Files touched:** ~/.local/bin/aiclaude, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://cli-chat-proxy.grok.com/v1, https://aiclaude.freepro.online ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Starting the CLI automatically creates a persistent shortcut., The shortcut writes an executable in the user bin directory and appends an alias to shell startup files., The local setup endpoint generates a script that changes Claude Code settings and redirects its API environment to this gateway. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The Claude configuration script is fetched and executed only after a separate user command., No source evidence shows automatic secret harvesting or arbitrary remote-code execution at package installation. ## Public findings ### 1.
