The persistent daemon polls its configured server and may self-update the same package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T04:09:50.649Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T04:10:39.894Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 209 ms - **AI review time:** 48521 ms - **Total time:** 49245 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Global installation can initiate interactive enrollment, then create a persistent user service/cron job that reports Claude usage metadata. The persistent daemon polls its configured server and may self-update the same package. - **Trigger:** npm global installation with an available terminal; subsequent user device approval activates setup. - **Impact:** Host identity, Claude usage/session metadata, and profile data are sent to the configured tracker server; the daemon can install later package versions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, lib/setup.js, lib/poller.js, lib/reporter.js, lib/rate-limits.js, lib/scanner.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T04:10:39.894Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall-initiated enrollment, telemetry reporting, persistence, and server-directed self-update - **Rationale:** The package implements persistent telemetry and server-directed self-update initiated from postinstall, creating meaningful unresolved risk. Its data collection is package-aligned and enrollment is user-approved, so the stricter malicious/block boundary is not met. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude-tracker/config.json, ~/.claude-tracker/machine-id, ~/.claude-tracker/last-sync.json, ~/.claude/projects/\*\*/\*.jsonl, ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.claude/claude-tracker-profile.json, ~/.config/systemd/user/claude-team-tracker.service, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.claudetracker.plist, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.claudetracker.poll.plist - **Network endpoints:** https://tracker.clawodoo.com/api/devices/request-setup, https://tracker.clawodoo.com/api/devices/setup-status/, https://tracker.clawodoo.com/api/report, https://tracker.clawodoo.com/api/commands, https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage, https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/profile ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** package.json runs bin/postinstall.js at install time., bin/postinstall.js bypasses piped lifecycle I/O via /dev/tty and launches setup on global installs., lib/setup.js creates cron/systemd or LaunchAgent persistence after device approval., lib/poller.js accepts server commands and can run npm install -g updates., lib/reporter.js sends usage, session metadata, profile, hostname, and machine ID to tracker.clawodoo.com. - **Evidence against:** Setup requires a user to approve a device before configuration and persistence., Claude OAuth token is used only against api.anthropic.com endpoints, not sent to the tracker server., Scanner parses usage fields rather than chat content., No eval, arbitrary remote shell command, or foreign AI-agent configuration write was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
