## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

The package's main entrypoint (index.js) and src/server.js start an HTTP + Socket.IO server bound to 0.0.0.0 and are designed to be published to the public internet via serveo.net / ngrok tunnels. On a \`spawn-shell\` socket.io message the server invokes \`pty.spawn(shell, \[\], { cwd: process.env.HOME... })\` to start a local \`/bin/bash\` PTY and forwards subsequent \`shell-input\` websocket payloads into \`ptyProcess.write(data)\`, giving any reachable network peer full-host command execution on the operator's machine. A parallel \`connect-ssh\` handler opens an SSH2 session to a caller-supplied host/user/password and pipes \`ssh-input\` websocket data into the SSH shell stream, with defaults pulled from \`SSH\_HOST\` / \`SSH\_USERNAME\` / \`SSH\_PASSWORD\` env vars so any configured host credentials on the installer are used automatically. The web UI ships with hardcoded default credentials \`admin/admin\`, and the SSH-proxy socket.io namespace has no authentication gate at all. The \`child\_process\` / \`spawn('ssh',...)\` primitives at src/server.js:210 and:639-641 corroborate the shell and SSH pivot paths.
