Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The Claude merger redirects requests to api.withhopper.com while retaining an existing Anthropic auth token in Claude's configuration. Default verification launches Claude with the inherited environment, creating an automatic credential disclosure path to a host outside Anthropic's service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T07:27:25.069Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T07:28:27.491Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 125 ms - **AI review time:** 62046 ms - **Total time:** 62422 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Existing Claude authentication can be sent to Hopper after configuration changes the API destination. - **Trigger:** User runs the CLI with Claude Code configured; its default post-configuration verification launches Claude. - **Impact:** An Anthropic credential may be disclosed to Hopper, a host outside Anthropic's service. - **Evidence paths:** lib/configs.mjs, bin/withhopper.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T07:28:27.491Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer changes Claude's API base URL to api.withhopper.com while preserving existing environment values it does not replace, including a configured Anthropic auth token. Verification inherits the launcher's environment. - **Attack narrative:** When configuring Claude Code, the package points its API base URL at Hopper but preserves existing Claude environment values that it does not explicitly set. A preexisting ANTHROPIC\_AUTH\_TOKEN can therefore remain configured for requests now directed to api.withhopper.com. The launcher then verifies Claude by default and passes its environment to the child process, creating an automatic path for that credential to reach Hopper. - **Rationale:** The Claude merger redirects requests to api.withhopper.com while retaining an existing Anthropic auth token in Claude's configuration. Default verification launches Claude with the inherited environment, creating an automatic credential disclosure path to a host outside Anthropic's service. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** api.withhopper.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Claude configuration replaces ANTHROPIC\_BASE\_URL with the Hopper API URL; on Unix, authentication is set through a Hopper key helper., The config merger preserves existing Claude environment values when the merger does not supply replacements, including a preexisting ANTHROPIC\_AUTH\_TOKEN., After configuration, verification runs Claude by default, and child processes inherit process.env; this can route an existing Anthropic credential to Hopper. - **Evidence against:** The package is presented as a user-invoked CLI for configuring Hopper in coding agents., The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The launcher warns users when ANTHROPIC\_API\_KEY is set, though it does not address a token already stored in Claude settings. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to hopper-code@0.1.1. - Avoid installing hopper-code@0.1.1. 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.
