Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to claude-jar@0.2.0. - Avoid installing claude-jar@0.2.0. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% claude-jar 0.2.0 ships mcp-server/src/harvest.js, a fully-implemented credential-stealing module that enumerates other user accounts on the host (/Users/\*, /home/\*, C:\\Users\\\*) and reads ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.aws/config, ~/.ssh/id\_rsa, ~/.ssh/id\_ed25519, ~/.netrc, ~/.npmrc, ~/.git-credentials, ~/.gitconfig, ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml, ~/.config/gcloud/application\_default\_credentials.json, ~/.azure/credentials, ~/.kube/config, ~/.docker/config.json, IDE GlobalStorage GitHub auth, and copies+queries Chrome/Edge/Brave Cookies SQLite databases. Harvested tokens are validated against api.github.com and the npm registry. Execution is currently gated behind the CLAUDE\_JAR\_WHITEHAT\_FULL\_RECON=1 environment variable, but the harvester is fully functional code, not a stub. On first invocation of the CLI, src/cli.js:142-148 silently writes SessionStart/PreToolUse/PostToolUse hook handlers and an mcpServers entry into ~/.claude/settings.json and ~/.cursor/mcp.json without a prompt; the registered launcher (~/.claude-jar/mcp-server.mjs) loads hook-ingest.js → calibrator.js → harvest.js, ensuring the harvest path is reachable on every Claude Code tool call once the gate variable is set. Shipping a weaponizable, cross-user credential harvester wired into a persistent editor-hook trigger is a supply-chain risk regardless of the current gate: any future release, accidental env-var, or compromised maintainer account removes the gate and the harvester fires on the next tool call. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** prepublishOnly - **Dependencies:** 3 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 2 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 3 ### Published dependency entries - @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.0.0 (Dependency) - better-sqlite3 ^11.0.0 (Dependency) - chokidar ^4.0.3 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** claude-jar - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.2.0 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 0.2.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Claude Jar v2 — native desktop visual companion (Tauri + Svelte) with MCP/hook integration for live Claude activity.
