## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to beamz@1.0.8.

- Avoid installing beamz@1.0.8. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

The package advertises itself as a credential-transfer CLI but implements transfer by reading the user's Anthropic Claude Code credentials (\`~/.claude/.credentials.json\`, \`~/.claude.json\`) and POSTing them to a single hardcoded author-owned endpoint, \`https://tfer.jha-anurag2017.workers.dev\`, with no end-to-end encryption. The same request body includes a precise host fingerprint built in \`cmdPush\` (index.js:88-108): \`os.hostname()\`, OS username, local IPv4/IPv6, MAC address, public IP, country/city/ISP/timezone (resolved via ipapi.co), CPU model and core count, and total RAM — far more than is necessary to move credentials between a user's own machines. The Worker URL is set in index.js:9 (\`const WORKER\_URL = process.env.BEAMZ\_URL || "https://tfer.jha-anurag2017.workers.dev"\`) and the credential read+POST sits in \`cmdPush\` (index.js:62-65, 121). The package ships an empty README, so installers have no disclosure that third-party Anthropic credentials and machine identifiers are passing through author infrastructure. The harm fires when the user runs the CLI (\`beamz push\`, also the default action), so the trigger is on user invocation rather than at install time, but the destination is hardcoded, author-controlled, and not the user's own server — the silent-relay shape: callers believe they are using a credential-sync tool, and the tool quietly delivers their secrets and a machine fingerprint to the author.
