The scheduled jobs include an automatic upgrade that installs a later package release. - **Trigger:** Installing or updating the package globally with npm. - **Impact:** Future Claude or Codex invocations can be redirected through package shims, and the package can automatically fetch and execute later releases. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, install.sh, bin/claude-accounts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T16:11:36.191Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall-driven PATH shadowing, scheduler persistence, and self-updating lifecycle re-entry. - **Attack narrative:** The package declares postinstall. On a global install it silently launches install.sh, which adds shell startup PATH blocks, can install command-shadowing links, and enables launchd or cron jobs. One recurring job calls self-update; its implementation installs claude-multiacc@latest globally, causing the new release's postinstall to run again. This is an unconsented lifecycle chain that persistently controls the Claude and Codex command surface. - **Rationale:** The automatic global lifecycle hook broadly mutates AI command resolution and establishes scheduled self-updating persistence. This satisfies the install-hook abuse policy even though no separate exfiltration endpoint was found. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, install.sh, bin/claude-accounts, $HOME/.zshenv, $HOME/.zprofile, $HOME/.zshrc, $HOME/.bash\_profile, $HOME/.bashrc, $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents, user crontab, /usr/local/bin/claude, /usr/local/bin/codex ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest registers an automatic postinstall hook., On global installation, the hook runs install.sh without a separate user command., The installer alters shell startup files, can replace command resolution for Claude and Codex, and installs recurring jobs., A scheduled self-update installs the latest package release, which re-runs its postinstall hook. - **Evidence against:** The selector test source is ordinary local test code., The multiacc-select entry point only parses JSON and invokes local selection code., No package-owned data-exfiltration endpoint was found. ## 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 = 22327 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 = 23183 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: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** bin/multiacc-select - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 1 ``` ### 11. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** bin/claude - **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): ```text matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = claude-multiacc@2.0.19 matchedIdentity = npm:Y2xhdWRlLW11bHRpYWNj:2.0.19 similarity = 0.600 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 12. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The manifest registers an automatic postinstall hook. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "scripts": { "postinstall": "node scripts/postinstall.mjs", "test": "bash tests/run-tests.sh && python3 tests/test_selector.py" } ``` ## 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:** 2.0.22 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-09-04T14:32:13.388Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-13T14:48:14.656Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-09-04T16:11:36.191Z - **Known versions:** 19 - **Latest version:** 2.0.22 - **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:** 32 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 1,127,757 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
