## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No malicious install-time or covert execution path was found. The user-invoked server sends bounded product telemetry and can manage its own optional background service.

- **Trigger:** Running \`synaptic-code\` or explicitly enabling its background service

- **Impact:** User-authorized provider commands and service management; no confirmed credential or command-output exfiltration.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.mjs, dist/service-launcher.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T02:15:20.793Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** AI coding server, provider launcher, optional telemetry and self-update

- **Rationale:** The scanner's command-output-exfiltration claim is not supported by the inspected source. The risky primitives are package-aligned, runtime/user-invoked functionality rather than a concrete malicious chain.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/bin.mjs, dist/service-launcher.mjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com/batch/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** dist/bin.mjs reads only account IDs from ~/.codex/auth.json or ~/.claude.json, SHA-256 hashes them, and sends telemetry to PostHog by default., dist/bin.mjs can install exact package versions and manage a user-installed systemd service.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., dist/bin.mjs is a user-invoked Synaptic Code CLI/server; command execution is for configured providers, git, and explicit service actions., Telemetry events contain product/session counters and provider metadata; no source path sends command output or authentication tokens., Service installation requires explicit \`service install\` or an interactive confirmation; no foreign AI-agent config mutation was found.
