Unconsented interception and control of subsequent Claude/Codex CLI invocations; daily updates can replace the interceptor. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 2.0.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. A global npm install silently changes command resolution for Claude and Codex and persists scheduled package jobs. The shims run the real tools under package-selected credential/config directories. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T22:57:01.822Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T22:58:56.597Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 145 ms - **AI review time:** 114126 ms - **Total time:** 114775 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global npm install silently changes command resolution for Claude and Codex and persists scheduled package jobs. The shims run the real tools under package-selected credential/config directories. - **Trigger:** npm install -g claude-multiacc - **Impact:** Unconsented interception and control of subsequent Claude/Codex CLI invocations; daily updates can replace the interceptor. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, install.sh, bin/claude, bin/codex - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T22:58:56.597Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall PATH shadowing, scheduled persistence, and AI CLI configuration redirection - **Attack narrative:** On global installation, the postinstall runs install.sh without a separate setup command. It prepends package shims ahead of the genuine Claude and Codex commands, creates recurring launchd or cron jobs, and configures a daily self-update. The shims then select package-managed account directories and export configuration variables before executing the real AI CLIs, creating a persistent foreign control surface over normal agent commands. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete, unconsented global postinstall mutation of broad Claude and Codex command/configuration control surfaces. The lifecycle guard does not remove the risk for ordinary global installs. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, install.sh, bin/claude, bin/codex, $HOME/.zshenv, $HOME/.zprofile, $HOME/.zshrc, $HOME/.bashrc, $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents, /etc/profile.d/claude-multiacc.sh, /usr/local/bin/claude, /usr/local/bin/codex ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Global npm postinstall automatically runs the installer., Installer rewrites shell PATH to shadow Claude and Codex binaries., Installer creates launchd/cron jobs, including daily automatic updates., Shims redirect Claude/Codex configuration to package-selected account directories. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall skips local installs, CI, Windows, and an opt-out environment variable., No hard-coded HTTP endpoint or direct credential exfiltration was found in inspected lifecycle source. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.mjs ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.mjs ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 5. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 7. Medium: Ships Build Helper - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 70.0% - **Path:** install.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() Package ships non-JavaScript build or shell helper files. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```shell path = install.sh kind = build_helper sizeBytes = 21240 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 8. High: Payload In Excluded Dir - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** tests/test\_selector.py - **Public source:** [View source]() Package hides binary, compressed, or executable-looking payloads in test/fixture/hidden paths. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```python path = tests/test_selector.py kind = payload_in_excluded_dir sizeBytes = 11717 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 9. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 10. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** tests/run-tests.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```shell matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = claude-multiacc@1.0.16 matchedIdentity = npm:Y2xhdWRlLW11bHRpYWNj:1.0.16 similarity = 0.556 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 11. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** bin/codex - **Public source:** [View source]() Shims redirect Claude/Codex configuration to package-selected account directories. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text export CODEX_HOME="$pick" exec "$REAL" "$@" ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 1 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 1 ### Published dependency entries - update-notifier ^7.3.1 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** claude-multiacc - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.0.1 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-25T22:51:40.736Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-13T14:48:14.656Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-25T23:17:51.468Z - **Known versions:** 11 - **Latest version:** 2.0.2 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Unified Claude Code and OpenAI Codex subscription pooling with quota-aware selection. - **Author:** Gowalk - **Keywords:** claude, claude-code, codex, codex-cli, openai, chatgpt, anthropic, multi-account, subscription, rate-limit, usage-limits, addon - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=18 - **Artifact files:** 24 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 746,148 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
