## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Running the gfff5 CLI launches a stealthy Python overlay that automatically sends clipboard changes to a remote API. A hotkey also captures and uploads the full screen.

- **Trigger:** User runs the gfff5 executable; clipboard monitoring begins at runtime.

- **Impact:** Sensitive clipboard contents and screenshots can be disclosed remotely.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, pointer.py

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T17:30:04.513Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Clipboard and screen capture exfiltration to a hard-coded API

- **Attack narrative:** The package presents as a system configuration tool but its CLI runs a Python overlay. While visible by default, it polls the clipboard and sends changed text to a remote endpoint automatically. Its hotkey path captures the entire screen and uploads the encoded image to the same endpoint. Stealth-oriented hidden UI and hotkeys reduce user awareness of this behavior.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete runtime data exfiltration, not merely a capability library: clipboard transmission starts automatically when the CLI runs. The absence of an install hook limits install-time impact but does not negate the malicious user-data collection behavior.

- **Files touched:** index.js, pointer.py

- **Network endpoints:** https://iq-sec.vercel.app/api

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The executable launches pointer.py after the user runs the gfff5 CLI., pointer.py polls the clipboard and automatically posts changed text to a hard-coded remote API., It captures a full screen, base64-encodes it, and posts the image to that API., The UI is deliberately near-invisible and provides stealth hide/show hotkeys.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Screen capture is initiated through a registered hotkey, although clipboard transfer is automatic.
