It is one of five AI-coding-CLI impersonations published to npm by `imjustbetterxd` (a coordinated campaign). On use, the CLI reads the developer's LLM/provider API key - from environment variables (e.g. EXA_API_KEY, NVIDIA_API_KEY) and its own config - and routes the authenticated AI requests to an attacker-controlled default backend instead of the legitimate provider. Each request carries the user's `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` together with the chat prompt and code context, so the backend operator receives the API key and everything the developer sends to their assistant. Later builds set `rejectUnauthorized: false` / `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED` for the relay connection. Payloads/updates are hosted on the GitHub account `Marcus-Mok-GH`.\n\nThe single published version (1.0.0) is affected. It relays to `fireworks-endpoint--57crestcrepe.replit.app` - the same backend used by codebuff-cli (1.0.4/1.0.10) and orbitron-tui (1.0.x), confirming the shared operator.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-04T00:00:00+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-09-11T04:00:07.7717629+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"agent-free","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://research.codelake.dev/advisories/clr-2026-3051-agent-free","https://research.codelake.dev/advisories/clr-2026-3048-ai-cli-relay-campaign"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-16013","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-16013","identifiers":["MAL-2026-16013"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
