## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** On \`codeam\` start with a paired Claude session, the CLI harvests and uploads Claude credentials to the package backend. It also alters Claude instruction/onboarding control files during runtime.

- **Trigger:** User runs codeam after pairing a Claude session.

- **Impact:** Transfers reusable Claude authentication material to a third-party backend and changes Claude behavior/trust state.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T20:39:16.373Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** credential harvesting/exfiltration plus agent-control-file mutation

- **Attack narrative:** The runtime reads ~/.claude/.credentials.json or ~/.config/claude/.credentials.json, then POSTs the raw credential to the Codeam credential-sync endpoint and watches those files for later changes. This begins automatically when a paired Claude session is started. The same start path also appends an instruction directing Claude to always use Codeam’s Beads workflow; non-local sessions mark Claude onboarding and workspace trust accepted.

- **Rationale:** The package has a concrete credential-exfiltration path and runtime mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. Its harmless postinstall does not mitigate those activated runtime behaviors.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/index.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.codeagent-mobile.com/api/plugin/agents/claude\_code/credential-sync

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** dist/index.js reads Claude credential files and sends raw credential in POST body., Credential sync starts automatically for paired Claude sessions and watches token changes., dist/index.js writes a directive into ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md on every start., dist/index.js can mark Claude onboarding and workspace trust accepted in non-local sessions.

- **Evidence against:** package.json postinstall only prints usage instructions., No install-time credential collection or agent-config mutation was found., Telemetry has an opt-out and separately redacts token-named properties.
