Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed attack was identified. Inspected behavior implements Termux compatibility, local token storage, and updates to the same package. - **Trigger:** npm installation activates platform setup; CLI invocation activates runtime patches and the update check. - **Impact:** The package changes compatibility files and creates directories; no credential exfiltration or agent-control hijacking was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T12:18:58.280Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup installs fixed upstream compatibility dependencies. The OAuth patch exposes local storage functions without sending tokens or changing agent instructions. - **Rationale:** Direct inspection of the entrypoint, lifecycle hook, OAuth location and callers supports a Termux compatibility wrapper. No concrete malicious behavior or unresolved agent-control capability was established. - **Files touched:** .claude, .oauth-tokens.enc - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/download/14.1.1/ripgrep-14.1.1-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz, https://registry.npmjs.org/@img/sharp-wasm32/-/sharp-wasm32-0.34.5.tgz, https://registry.npmjs.org/${PACKAGE\_NAME}/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean. Static policy retained a warning. A high or critical static finding has no usable source path. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The install hook runs compatibility setup; the runtime dependency is the upstream Claude CLI, with no self-dependency., The flagged OAuth location selects a local token file under .claude. CLI startup exposes storage functions on Termux; no token-harvesting caller or network send exists in this module., Postinstall creates the .claude directory without writing agent instructions or configuration; other setup installs compatible ripgrep and Sharp dependencies., CLI startup updates the same package through npm using its registry version; an environment variable or CLI flag disables updates., Sharp loading redirects to its WASM implementation, and ripgrep execution redirects to an installed system binary while preserving arguments., The verification script checks directory existence and API-key presence without forwarding credentials or modifying agent configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to claude-code-termux@1.0.182. - Review the evidence and your use of claude-code-termux@1.0.182 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
