@mutmutco/codex-plugin@4.5.136: Clean npm security report (Allow)

AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts, and the flagged agent-path code classifies repository paths rather than changing agent configuration. The CLI telemetry is limited to basic usage fields, can be disabled, and no concrete attack behavior was found.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Running a CLI command triggers its pre-action hook; setting MMI_TELEMETRY=off disables the telemetry request.

Impact

The inspected telemetry payload contains no credentials or file contents, and no agent configuration takeover or other attack was identified.

Mechanism

The request posts the command name, client version, CI status, and operating system to the Hub telemetry route.

AI rationale

The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts, and the flagged agent-path code classifies repository paths rather than changing agent configuration. The CLI telemetry is limited to basic usage fields, can be disabled, and no concrete attack behavior was found.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json declares no install lifecycle scripts, so package installation does not trigger the bundled CLI.
The flagged agent paths are used to classify repository paths; this code does not write agent configuration.
CLI telemetry sends the command name, client version, CI status, and operating system; MMI_TELEMETRY=off disables it.
The pre-action hook sends telemetry when a CLI command runs.
Plugin repair is exposed as an explicit plugin-heal command.

Evidence against

Usage telemetry is enabled by default, but its inspected payload contains no credentials or file contents.
