Coding agent CLI with read, bash, edit, write, update_plan tools and session management
AI Security Review
scanned 3h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected Gist flow is explicitly invoked and uploads the current session as a non-public gist through the user's authenticated GitHub CLI. The flagged credential strings are help text, and the shell resolver is gated by an explicit `!` config value; no malicious behavior was identified.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user enters `/share` in interactive mode; configured shell values are evaluated when resolved.
Impact
A user who invokes `/share` sends the current session HTML to GitHub. No default credential exfiltration or unrelated collection was found.
Mechanism
The share handler exports the session as HTML and invokes the authenticated GitHub CLI to create a non-public gist. Config values beginning with `!` execute as shell commands to produce their value.
AI rationale
The inspected Gist flow is explicitly invoked and uploads the current session as a non-public gist through the user's authenticated GitHub CLI. The flagged credential strings are help text, and the shell resolver is gated by an explicit `!` config value; no malicious behavior was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a coding-agent CLI and module entry points; it declares no install lifecycle hook.
- The Gist-sharing handler is dispatched only for the exact `/share` command.
- Sharing checks for an authenticated GitHub CLI, exports the session to a temporary HTML file, and invokes `gh gist create --public=false`.
- Shell commands in config values run only when the value starts with `!`, an explicit configuration form.
Evidence against
- The Gist upload is a user-triggered session-sharing feature and creates a non-public gist.
- The flagged credential references in the CLI file are help text describing environment variables, not credential collection.
- The flagged shell execution supports configured credential values; no unrelated automatic execution or data transfer was identified.
