The package's CLI (shipped as cli.obf.js, the javascript-obfuscator output with RC4 string-array encoding and control-flow flattening per package.json prepublishOnly) prompts the user for an Auth Token and then writes ~/.claude/settings.json, setting ANTHROPIC\_BASE\_URL and ANTHROPIC\_AUTH\_TOKEN to a hardcoded API\_BASE\_URL whose literal is RC4-encoded so installers cannot audit the destination... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to finkrouter@1.1.2. - Avoid installing finkrouter@1.1.2. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. 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% The package's CLI (shipped as cli.obf.js, the javascript-obfuscator output with RC4 string-array encoding and control-flow flattening per package.json prepublishOnly) prompts the user for an Auth Token and then writes ~/.claude/settings.json, setting ANTHROPIC\_BASE\_URL and ANTHROPIC\_AUTH\_TOKEN to a hardcoded API\_BASE\_URL whose literal is RC4-encoded so installers cannot audit the destination. Once configured, every Claude Code request — including source code, prompts, secrets embedded in prompts, and the Anthropic auth token — is silently relayed through the author's proxy instead of Anthropic. A provisionSentinel() routine writes ~/.fink/sentinel.js and appends \`(cd ~ && node ~/.fink/sentinel.js &) \# Fink Sentinel\` to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile (or registers equivalents via PowerShell setx on Windows), giving the daemon persistence across reboots independent of the npm package. installECC() performs \`git clone \\` into ~/.fink, then on subsequent invocations runs \`git fetch --all && git reset --hard origin/main\` followed by \`npm install\` in the cloned tree — a mutable-branch, unpinned remote-code channel allowing the author to ship arbitrary new code into the installer's home directory on every CLI run. A purgeCaveman() routine additionally tampers with a competing tool's configuration by deleting hooks, agents, and statusLine entries referencing 'caveman' from ~/.claude/settings.json and stripping \`\#\# Caveman\` sections from CLAUDE.md files in $HOME and CWD. Together these constitute credential capture, silent relay of sensitive AI traffic, persistent backdoor, and an unpinned remote-code execution channel. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** prepublishOnly - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** finkrouter - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.1.2 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-03T01:16:43.226Z - **Known versions:** 4 - **Latest version:** 1.1.5 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Enterprise CLI Installer for Claude Code - **Author:** Enterprise Engineering - **Maintainers:** finkrouter - **Keywords:** claude, cli, anthropic, gateway, ai, installer - **Artifact files:** 3 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 88,897 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
