high

brand impersonation

The site operates on a third-party subdomain (clash-for-windows.fr.softmany.com) distributing 'Clash for Windows', a tool whose official GitHub repository (Fndroid/clash_for_windows_pkg) was archived and removed by the author. The site impersonates the legitimate software brand, presenting it as freely downloadable freeware version 0.20.39 from what appears to be a software aggregator, not the original author. Users searching for the official tool are likely to land here instead. (location: page.html:435, metadata.json, page.html:63-76)

medium

social engineering

The page promotes Clash for Windows — a tool that was voluntarily taken down by its original developer — as a safe, free, up-to-date download. The framing ('Mises à jour régulières', 'Une équipe de développeurs efficace') falsely implies ongoing official support and trustworthiness, manipulating users into downloading software from an unofficial third-party distributor. (location: page.html:592, page-text.txt:322)

low

credential harvesting

A POST form (id='ratingForm') submits a hidden CSRF token and content_id to https://clash-for-windows.fr.softmany.com/rate-content. The CSRF token value ('sUml5bZq04trAxwcUTzR2HUUxZIrT2X9kIASNKNc') is also embedded in a meta tag and used in a fetch() call with explicit header exfiltration. While the stated purpose is rating, the JS exfiltration sink pattern flagged by Tier 2 (JS exfiltration sink patterns: 1) corresponds to this fetch() sending form data including the token to the server — consistent with a credential/token harvesting pattern if the backend is malicious. (location: page.html:449-452, page.html:820-828)

low

hidden content

The footer contains 15 col-auto div elements with empty <p> tags (lines 709-768), contributing to the small but non-zero hidden content ratio (0.01). These empty elements serve no visible purpose and could be placeholders for injected content or SEO manipulation, though no active payload was observed. (location: page.html:709-768)

medium

phishing

The site mimics a legitimate software download portal for 'Clash for Windows', a well-known proxy tool, offering a download link at /windows/telecharger. Since the original project was taken down by its author due to security concerns, this third-party site redistributing it without attribution to a verified source represents a phishing-adjacent threat where users may be tricked into downloading a potentially modified or malicious binary under the guise of a trusted application.

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.

Is clash-for-windows.fr.softmany.com safe for AI agents to use?

clash-for-windows.fr.softmany.com currently scores 55/100 with a caution verdict and medium confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this domain score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this domain?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
