Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The server automatically forwards a Codex id\_token to Agnoclast during startup for users with confidential seats. Because this is an authentication token from another service and the transfer occurs without an explicit action for that request, this meets the credential-exfiltration rule. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T05:53:38.465Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T05:54:41.190Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 2276 ms - **AI review time:** 60188 ms - **Total time:** 62725 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:** On MCP server startup, Codex id\_tokens are forwarded to Agnoclast for users with confidential seats. - **Trigger:** Default MCP server startup when the account has confidential seats. - **Impact:** Exposes an authentication identity token from another service to the package vendor without an explicit user action for that request. - **Evidence paths:** lib/confidential\_session.mjs, lib/server.mjs, lib/diagnose.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T05:54:41.190Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Reads the Codex id\_token from auth.json, then includes it in an automatic account-proof request to the package service. - **Attack narrative:** For Codex users who hold confidential seats, the default server startup reads the id\_token from ~/.codex/auth.json and sends it as proof to Agnoclast's confidential-seat endpoint. This happens during startup, before a user names a confidential brain in a tool call. The token is intended for account verification, but it is still an authentication token from another service sent to the package vendor without a request-specific user action. - **Rationale:** The server automatically forwards a Codex id\_token to Agnoclast during startup for users with confidential seats. Because this is an authentication token from another service and the transfer occurs without an explicit action for that request, this meets the credential-exfiltration rule. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/auth.json - **Network endpoints:** agnoclast.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Codex account proof reads the id\_token from ~/.codex/auth.json., The default MCP server startup checks for confidential seats; when seats exist, it gathers and sends the AI account proof automatically., The proof is posted to the package service at https://agnoclast.com/api/brains/confidential/mine., The request body includes the proof, which contains the Codex id\_token., There are no npm lifecycle scripts., Antigravity wiring is an explicit install action and does not load its generated launchd agent. - **Evidence against:** The account proof flow is implemented for confidential-seat account verification., The Antigravity persistence finding is not activated automatically by the adapter. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.284. - Avoid installing @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.284. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
