Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-18T19:10:24.164Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-18T19:14:53.475Z - **Download time:** 3337 ms - **Static scan time:** 6562 ms - **AI review time:** 259411 ms - **Total time:** 269311 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No install-time write to a foreign agent control surface was found. This is a Happy CLI fork: postinstall unpacks bundled search and diff tools, and a user-run happy or claudeputer session can attach temporary Claude hooks and connect to the documented Happy API. - **Trigger:** npm install runs postinstall unpack; agent bridging starts only if a user runs happy, claudeputer, or happy-mcp. - **Impact:** No confirmed covert theft or unconsented foreign-agent hijack. Residual dual-use is remote session control after the user launches the CLI. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T19:14:53.475Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** user-invoked coding-agent session bridge - **Rationale:** Source shows a Happy CLI fork whose postinstall only unpacks bundled ripgrep and difftastic, while Claude hooks and remote control run only after the user launches the CLI. Scanner malware-similarity is noisy leftover from that shared Happy layout, not a hidden install attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** High - **Evidence for warning:** Install runs a postinstall that unpacks bundled native tar.gz tools for the current platform., Running the CLI writes a temporary Claude settings file with SessionStart and status-line hooks and passes it with --settings., Default HAPPY\_SERVER\_URL is api.cluster-fluster.com while metadata still points at happy.engineering., The package publishes a happy binary, so a global install can shadow the upstream Happy CLI., Gemini mode reads tokens from local Gemini config files and can run gcloud to print an access token., Scanner malware-similarity hits are the Happy CLI launchers and dist layout, not a second hidden installer. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only extracts packaged difftastic and ripgrep into tools/unpacked and does not write Claude or Codex user settings., Hook JSON lives under the Happy home tmp directory, is passed per session, and is deleted when the session ends., Status-line and session hooks POST only to 127.0.0.1., No preinstall, no self-dependency on another claudeputer release, and no eval or Function payload., LaunchDaemon install is an explicit happy daemon install path that requires sudo., README and code match a user-run mobile and web coding-agent client forked from Happy. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to claudeputer@1.1.55. - Review the evidence and your use of claudeputer@1.1.55 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
