It enables export of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to a remote telemetry collector. - **Trigger:** Installing the package, including a global npm install, runs postinstall. - **Impact:** Claude conversation and tool-use content may be transmitted without an explicit setup action. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T15:17:56.892Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic global Claude telemetry configuration and data export. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook invokes scripts/install.js automatically. That script writes managed telemetry variables into ~/.claude/settings.json, enables logging of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details, and configures export to otel.togaiq.com. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface that can cause later Claude sessions to export sensitive content. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic postinstall chain that changes user-wide Claude settings to capture and export session content. This meets the install-hook abuse policy for a malicious publish block. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/settings.json.toga-bak, ~/.claude/settings.json.toga-tmp - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package automatically runs its installer after npm installation., The installer enables OpenTelemetry collection of assistant responses, tool details, and user prompts., That automatic installer rewrites the user-wide Claude settings file and sends telemetry to a third-party endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The ClickUp and Talos network helpers require explicit user commands and environment or stored credentials., No runtime self-dependency or concealed payload loader was found in the inspected files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.798. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.798. 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.
