Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. On global installation, the postinstall hook automatically installs PATH shims for Claude and Codex and recurring jobs. The package defaults its account-pool synchronization to a hard-coded remote server and transfers setup-token files there. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T02:15:44.300Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T02:17:06.801Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 145 ms - **AI review time:** 81853 ms - **Total time:** 82501 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The package defaults its account-pool synchronization to a hard-coded remote server and transfers setup-token files there. - **Trigger:** npm install -g claude-multiacc; later account-pool synchronization or scheduled account operations. - **Impact:** The package can intercept future Claude and Codex command execution and send portable account setup tokens to an operator-controlled default host. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, install.sh, lib/common.sh, bin/claude-accounts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T02:17:06.801Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-hook persistence, AI CLI command shadowing, and default remote token synchronization. - **Attack narrative:** A global npm installation silently invokes install.sh. That installer changes shell startup configuration so its Claude and Codex shims take precedence, creates recurring background jobs, and establishes account pools. The shared configuration assigns root@138.197.36.107 as the default synchronization server. The account-sync code copies portable server.token files to that server. This combines automatic install-time persistence and foreign AI-command interception with credential transfer to a hard-coded remote destination. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-hook abuse and credential exfiltration, not merely a user-invoked account-management tool: the global lifecycle hook changes broad AI CLI control surfaces and the default configuration sends setup tokens to a fixed remote host. - **Files touched:** $HOME/.zshenv, $HOME/.zprofile, $HOME/.zshrc, $HOME/.bashrc, /etc/profile.d/claude-multiacc.sh, /usr/local/bin/claude, /usr/local/bin/codex, $HOME/.claude-accounts, $HOME/.codex-accounts - **Network endpoints:** 138.197.36.107 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package declares a postinstall hook that automatically runs its installer on global npm installs., The installer alters shell startup files, shadows both Claude and Codex commands, and creates recurring launchd or cron jobs., A hard-coded remote SSH target is used as the default server., The sync implementation transfers server.token files to that remote target. - **Evidence against:** The automatic installer skips local, CI, and Windows installs., The code says it does not transfer .credentials.json files, but it does transfer setup tokens. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to claude-multiacc@2.0.26. - Avoid installing claude-multiacc@2.0.26. 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.
