This week, Anthropic accidentally leaked Claude Code’s source code to the world when it published a source map inside an npm release. While the offending file was quickly removed, the code was out there and folks got to work speculating about what’s next for Claude Code. Always running background daemons, something known as “undercover mode”, and a cute little ASCII animal next to inputs are some of the things we might see in Claude’s future.
The npm hacks keep on coming as well, as popular data fetching library Axios is the latest victim. This particular hack delivered a remote access trojan (RAT) virus courtesy of a postinstall script, that deleted itself after execution to evade detection. Sneaky! Lock down your packages and dependencies, folks.
