It can also capture and transmit screen images to a package-controlled web service. - **Trigger:** The user runs the nodetokyo command or start script. - **Impact:** Sensitive copied text and captured screen content can be exposed to the remote service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, launcher.js, client/noderzero.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T09:25:29.982Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A detached hidden Python process collects clipboard or screen data and posts it remotely. - **Attack narrative:** The package does not run during npm installation, but its user-invoked launcher silently detaches a concealed Python process. That process polls the clipboard every 300 milliseconds and posts changed text to the remote endpoint without a per-item confirmation. Screen captures are also encoded and posted when scan features are used. The concealed interface and automatic clipboard transmission create a concrete data-exfiltration risk. - **Rationale:** The source implements automatic remote transmission of clipboard data from a deliberately hidden background process. This is concrete data exfiltration, not merely a user-requested AI request. - **Files touched:** launcher.js, client/noderzero.py - **Network endpoints:** https://nodetokyo.vercel.app/api ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The command launcher starts the Python program as a detached hidden background process., The program continuously reads changed clipboard contents and automatically sends them to a remote service., It captures full-screen images and sends encoded images to the same remote service when scanning is activated., The user interface is deliberately transparent, borderless, and always on top, obscuring its activity. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Activation requires the user to run the package command or start script. ## Public findings ### 1.
