AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe server automatically reads a Codex login id_token and sends it to the package's service during startup when confidential-brain seats exist. This is an unsolicited transfer of another service's credential, so the package is malicious.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Starting the MCP server with a configured Agnoclast token when the account has confidential-brain seats and Codex is the nearest agent.
Impact
Exposes a credential from another service to Agnoclast without a separate user request to send that token.
Mechanism
Reads ~/.codex/auth.json, uses its id_token as proof, then posts that proof to the confidential-brain account endpoint.
Attack narrative
When the MCP server starts, it checks whether the user's Agnoclast account has confidential-brain seats. If so, and Codex is the nearest agent, it reads the OpenAI id_token from ~/.codex/auth.json and posts it to Agnoclast as account proof. The token is sent automatically during startup, before a confidential-brain tool call.
AI rationale
The server automatically reads a Codex login id_token and sends it to the package's service during startup when confidential-brain seats exist. This is an unsolicited transfer of another service's credential, so the package is malicious.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 94.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- At server startup, if the Agnoclast account has confidential-brain seats, the code gathers an AI-agent proof and sends it to Agnoclast.
- For Codex, the proof is the id_token read from ~/.codex/auth.json.
- The proof is sent in a POST to /api/brains/confidential/mine; the default service host is agnoclast.com.
Evidence against
- The package has no npm lifecycle scripts.
- The background close-out job is off by default and installed only through an explicit command.
