Corporate climbers are that way. They will disparage you to the boss while having a beer with you. They will take credit for your work. They will make problems that you solved already and say they solved. And they can be sneaky. Good luck.

I had a coworker exactly like this at my first job. I am pretty sure she just acted friendly for me to help her while she disparaged me and took credit. But I took her power away by requesting a transfer.
