hopper-code@0.1.1
Put Hopper's coding model into OpenCode, Claude Code and Codex with one command.
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe 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.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
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.
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.
AI 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.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 86.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
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.
See all versions of hopper-code for other recorded verdicts.
- 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.
