## Public findings

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

noderzero is a self-described 'stealth assistant' that exfiltrates clipboard contents and full-screen screenshots to a hardcoded author-controlled endpoint. client/noderzero.py defines \`API\_URL = 'https://noderzero.vercel.app/api'\` and (a) polls \`pyperclip.paste()\` every 300ms, POSTing every change to that URL as \`{text:...}\`, and (b) on hotkey captures full-screen images via \`PIL.ImageGrab.grab()\`, base64-encodes them, and POSTs them to the same URL. The destination is fixed in source — the user cannot redirect or disable it. The Python tool is not optional: launcher.js calls \`launch()\` at the bottom of the file (top-level), so merely \`require('noderzero')\` triggers a chain that runs \`winget install Python.Python.3.12 --silent\` or downloads python-3.12.3-amd64.exe from python.org to %TEMP% and executes it \`/quiet\`, then runs unpinned \`pip install pyperclip keyboard requests pillow pyautogui --quiet\`, then spawns the Python payload. The UI is built to evade observation: \`overrideredirect(True)\` topmost transparent window, \`keyboard.add\_hotkey('ctrl+q', self.panic\_exit)\`, \`keyboard.on\_press(suppress=True)\`, and pyautogui-driven human-like typing. The combination of stealth UI, global keyboard hooks, clipboard scraping, screen capture, and hardcoded outbound POSTs is a surveillance/keylogger-grade exfiltrator with attacker-benefit (all captured data flows to the author's endpoint).
