Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. When explicitly run, the package starts a loopback bridge with privileged shell, workspace, Codex, and remote-device APIs. Its status handshake exposes the bearer token to permitted external Pages origins. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-22T02:19:40.263Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-22T02:21:05.665Z - **Download time:** 1784 ms - **Static scan time:** 7526 ms - **AI review time:** 76090 ms - **Total time:** 85402 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When explicitly run, the package starts a loopback bridge with privileged shell, workspace, Codex, and remote-device APIs. Its status handshake exposes the bearer token to permitted external Pages origins. - **Trigger:** User runs the mindexec CLI or server entrypoint. - **Impact:** A permitted web origin could execute commands and access or alter the selected workspace through the local bridge. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, launch-bridge.cjs, server.js, codex-runtime.js, port-guard.cjs, remote-hub.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T02:21:05.665Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Cross-origin bridge-token disclosure enabling authenticated local API calls. - **Rationale:** No install-time payload, stealth, or unconsented agent-control mutation was found. The exposed token plus permissive external CORS creates a concrete remote-to-local command-execution risk, warranting a warning. - **Files touched:** server.js - **Network endpoints:** https://mindexec.pages.dev, https://mindexecution.pages.dev, http://127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** CORS permits package-associated Pages origins and arbitrary mindexec.pages.dev subdomains., Unprotected /api/status returns the bridge token., That token authorizes shell, file, Codex, and remote-control routes., Shell jobs execute supplied commands through cmd.exe or /bin/bash., Remote routes can send input and AI task instructions to connected devices. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The CLI explicitly launches a loopback-local bridge; no covert install-time behavior was found., Destructive file APIs validate writes against the selected workspace. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mindexec/cli@0.2.476. - Review the evidence and your use of @mindexec/cli@0.2.476 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
