AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source directly implements clipboard and screenshot upload to a remote endpoint, with concealment features. The absence of an install hook limits automatic activation but does not remove the malicious runtime behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-19T13:46:15.768Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-19T13:46:59.557Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 24 ms - **AI review time:** 43257 ms - **Total time:** 43789 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When the CLI runs, it launches a persistent Python program that monitors clipboard contents and can capture a full screen. Captured data is POSTed to a hard-coded remote API. - **Trigger:** Explicit execution of the bqq1 CLI or index.js. - **Impact:** Sensitive clipboard text and screen contents can be exfiltrated. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, pointer.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T13:46:59.557Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Clipboard and screenshot collection with remote upload. - **Attack narrative:** The user-invoked CLI silently prepares Python dependencies and launches pointer.py. That payload polls the system clipboard every 300 ms and sends new text to a hard-coded remote endpoint; a hotkey also captures the full screen, encodes it, and sends it to the same endpoint. Its blank transparent UI, stealth hide/show controls, and global keyboard hooks reduce user visibility. Although it lacks an install lifecycle hook, the runtime behavior is concrete collection and exfiltration. - **Rationale:** Source directly implements clipboard and screenshot upload to a remote endpoint, with concealment features. The absence of an install hook limits automatic activation but does not remove the malicious runtime behavior. - **Files touched:** index.js, pointer.py - **Network endpoints:** https://iq-sec.vercel.app/api, https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.12.3/python-3.12.3-amd64.exe ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Runtime starts a bundled Python payload., Payload continuously reads clipboard changes and uploads them., Payload captures the full screen and uploads it., Stealth UI and global hotkeys conceal the activity. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook., Activation requires explicit CLI/runtime execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to bqq1@1.0.0. - Avoid installing bqq1@1.0.0. 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.
