## Public findings

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

The package ships a single Linux x64 Go binary at bin/sxt that connects to a hardcoded operator relay at wss://relay.sextant.top, negotiates a WebRTC peer connection (pion), spawns a local PTY (github.com/creack/pty) against /bin/sh or /bin/bash, and pipes bytes received from the remote peer into that shell. This is a full interactive remote-shell backdoor: any host that installs and runs the binary is under shell-level control of whoever operates the relay. The package.json license field points at github.com/ddos798/claude\_control, matching the internal Go module path 'claude\_control' embedded in the binary, tying the shipped binary to the operator-controlled project.
