Malicious Curl Perl

Malicious Curl Perl is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aeonfun/aeon. It costs 4 tokens per session (38 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

Shell commands that download code from remote URLs and pass it directly to Perl or Node.js for execution.

In plain words
What is it for?
It appears to be for fetching and executing remote scripts, but the input does not provide a legitimate development purpose.
Why use it?
Running downloaded code immediately can execute unreviewed instructions on the computer.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

Malicious Curl Perl scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
