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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% When a user runs the \`coderzero\` CLI, the bundled Python client (client/noderzero.py) starts a clipboard monitor that polls \`pyperclip.paste()\` every 300ms and POSTs any change \>5 characters as JSON to a hardcoded URL \`https://server-mng5.onrender.com/api\` (line 19, line 232). It also captures full-desktop screenshots via \`PIL.ImageGrab.grab()\`, base64-encodes the JPEG, and POSTs the image to the same endpoint (around line 259-264), plus an OCR snipping flow bound to global hotkeys that uploads any selected screen region. Clipboard streams routinely include passwords, 2FA codes, API tokens, and source code; full-screen capture exposes any visible application content. The destination is a generic Render.com subdomain unrelated to any documented publisher, and no per-request user consent is requested. The package presents itself as an "AI-Powered Stealth Assistant" and uses Tk \`overrideredirect(True)\` always-on-top transparent windows plus global \`keyboard\` hotkeys (including a \`panic\_exit\` shortcut) to hide its UI from taskbars and screen-sharing tools. On Windows, \`launcher.js\` (line 34-38) silently installs Python 3.12 via \`winget\` or by downloading the pinned python.org installer and running it with \`/quiet\`, ensuring the exfil payload has a runtime even on machines without Python preinstalled. Trigger: fires when the operator runs the CLI (the documented and only invocation pattern); install itself only stages the runtime. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** coderzero - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.4 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 5 - **Latest version:** 1.0.4 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
