Containerized environment for running and managing AI sub-agents

AI Security Review

scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

User invokes the dashboard's local MCP provider installation, or explicitly runs `codeux`/`codeux-worker`.

Impact

Third-party AI CLI behavior can be extended after explicit user action; remote worker tasks may execute through the configured workflow runtime.

Mechanism

Writes named MCP configuration entries and runs configured AI workflow/Docker commands.

Rationale

Source confirms explicit user-driven third-party AI-agent configuration mutation, so this warrants a warning under the stated policy. The malicious scanner classification is unsupported because the package has no install hooks and no confirmed covert malicious behavior.

Evidence

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

`dist/services/local-mcp-cli-config-service.js` writes `code_ux` MCP entries into home-directory configs for Codex, Claude, Gemini, and other AI CLIs.
`dist/app/lifecycle/dashboard-lifecycle-service.js` exposes that write through `installLocalMcpProvider`.
`dist/worker/index.js` connects to a user-supplied control-plane URL with an auth token and executes dispatched local workflow tasks.

Evidence against

`package.json` has no `preinstall`, `install`, or `postinstall` lifecycle hook.
`dist/index.js` executes only when the user invokes the `codeux` binary.
`.code-ux/container/setup.sh` only prints setup guidance; it installs no payload.
The MCP config write requires an enabled connection and explicit dashboard provider-install action.
No source evidence of credential exfiltration, hidden remote payload loading, or persistence beyond the explicit MCP setup feature.
