Containerized environment for running and managing AI sub-agents

AI Security Review

scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package is an AI orchestration runtime with powerful user-invoked Docker/provider login flows, but those flows are aligned with the documented product and are not lifecycle-triggered.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

User runs the codeux CLI and uses dashboard terminal/provider-login or worker execution features.

Impact

Can run provider CLIs and manage app-owned credentials when explicitly used; no install-time persistence, covert exfiltration, or foreign agent hijack found.

Mechanism

User-invoked local orchestration of Docker containers, provider CLI installs, credential sync, and provider MCP/config materialization.

Rationale

Static inspection found high-risk primitives, but they are documented, user-invoked runtime capabilities of a container-first AI orchestration product rather than install-time or covert behavior. No credential harvesting/exfiltration, destructive persistence, dependency confusion, or unconsented lifecycle mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces was confirmed.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

dist/server/terminal-routes.js exposes user-triggered dashboard routes that spawn docker login containers and copy provider credentials into ~/.code-ux/credentials
dist/services/cli-docker-utils.js and .code-ux/container/setup.sh can install provider CLIs via npm and curl|bash from vendor URLs
dist/infrastructure/providers/cli/docker-bootstrap-builder.js materializes provider MCP/config files inside container HOME for Codex/Claude/Gemini/Qwen/Antigravity

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook; main/bin is a user-invoked codeux CLI
dist/index.js starts the local Code UX server only when the CLI is run, not at package import/install time
Credential writes are scoped to Code UX app-owned ~/.code-ux/credentials and short-lived Docker/container HOME paths
terminal-routes.js validates provider IDs and providerConfigId path segments before fs.rm/mkdir/cp operations
Network endpoints are package-aligned provider installer/login support, not covert exfiltration endpoints
No evidence of unconsented writes to foreign host AI-agent control surfaces during npm install
