Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The npm postinstall changes user-level Claude settings to enable telemetry and send session content to an external collector. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T05:38:07.285Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T05:38:54.170Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 530 ms - **AI review time:** 45580 ms - **Total time:** 46885 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The npm postinstall changes user-level Claude settings to enable telemetry and send session content to an external collector. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm, which runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Claude session content and associated telemetry may be sent to the configured collector without a separate setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T05:38:54.170Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer writes telemetry variables into ~/.claude/settings.json, enabling prompt, response, and tool-detail logging and configuring an external endpoint and bearer token. - **Attack narrative:** The package postinstall invokes scripts/install.js. That path applies telemetry settings even during a bare global install, enabling logging of user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to an external endpoint. The source does not show an interactive consent step; it exposes an opt-out environment variable, but enables the settings by default. - **Rationale:** The postinstall automatically modifies user-level Claude settings to enable forwarding session content to an external collector. This is an unconsented install-time data exfiltration path and supports blocking the package. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package postinstall automatically runs the installer., The postinstall path writes telemetry settings to the user's Claude configuration before exiting., Those settings enable telemetry and direct it to an external endpoint with a fixed bearer token., The configuration enables collection of user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.966. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.966. 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.
