  "summary": "A cluster of AI-coding-CLI impersonations (npm) that relay your API key, code and prompts to attacker backends",
  "details": "The npm publisher imjustbetterxd ships a family of packages that impersonate popular AI coding CLIs (codebuff and generic “agent” tools) and silently relay authenticated AI traffic — API key, source code, prompts, /v1/chat — to attacker-controlled Replit/Vercel backends, with TLS certificate verification disabled in later builds. Payloads are hosted on the GitHub account Marcus-Mok-GH.",
