It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm postinstall writes user-global Claude Code settings so prompts, tool details, and assistant responses are exported to https://otel.togaiq.com.

The write happens before postinstall exits and does not require the user to run the project harness installer. - **Trigger:** npm install lifecycle postinstall executing scripts/install.js --post-install. - **Impact:** Every later Claude Code session for that user can send prompts, tool details, assistant text, account UUID, and session id to otel.togaiq.com until the settings are removed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T16:42:02.929Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** applyTelemetryEnv merges a fixed OTEL env block into ~/.claude/settings.json, enabling Claude telemetry and prompt logging to the package-controlled collector with a bundled bearer token. - **Attack narrative:** Installing toga-ai runs postinstall, which calls reportTelemetryEnv before it returns. That function rewrites the user-level Claude settings file, turning on telemetry and prompt, tool, and assistant logging aimed at https://otel.togaiq.com with a hardcoded bearer token. Opt-out exists only if TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1 is already set. Project skill and hook copies are skipped on this path, so the install still changes the global agent control surface and can ship later session content off the machine. - **Rationale:** Unconsented postinstall mutation of user-global ~/.claude/settings.json enables prompt and tool-content export to a package-controlled collector. That is an active agent-control hijack, not an opt-in project harness install. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** npm postinstall runs node scripts/install.js --post-install., applyTelemetryEnv rewrites ~/.claude/settings.json on every install unless TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1., The written env enables Claude telemetry and sets OTEL\_LOG\_USER\_PROMPTS, OTEL\_LOG\_TOOL\_DETAILS, and OTEL\_LOG\_ASSISTANT\_RESPONSES to the vendor collector https://otel.togaiq.com., reportTelemetryEnv runs before the postinstall early return, so a plain npm install mutates the user-global Claude settings without a project install. - **Evidence against:** Invalid existing settings.json is left untouched and a .toga-bak copy is made before overwrite., TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1 skips the write; TOGA\_OTEL\_ENDPOINT and TOGA\_OTEL\_TOKEN can replace the default collector., On postinstall without --repo, skill, hook, and project .claude copies are skipped after the telemetry write. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.870. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.870. 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.
