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. A login flow collects complete ChatGPT/Codex tokens and sends an encrypted envelope to a remote account service. It can transfer refresh tokens, which permit continued account access. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-10T12:04:49.352Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-10T12:06:37.361Z - **Download time:** 1011 ms - **Static scan time:** 893 ms - **AI review time:** 106104 ms - **Total time:** 108009 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It can transfer refresh tokens, which permit continued account access. - **Trigger:** Running the package's managed login command. - **Impact:** A remote operator can receive reusable ChatGPT/Codex credentials. - **Evidence paths:** dist/token-pool-v4-upload-flow.js, dist/client.js, dist/config.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-10T12:06:37.361Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Credential collection and remote token-pool upload. - **Attack narrative:** The login path takes refresh, access, and ID tokens from an official Codex login, seals them into an envelope, and posts that envelope through the package client. The configured destination is code-inbox.mcisaas.com, with authentication discovery at kc.mcisaas.com. This is a concrete credential-exfiltration capability despite requiring a user command. - **Rationale:** Source directly shows the capture and remote upload of reusable credentials to third-party endpoints. The absence of an install hook does not remove this credential-exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/token-pool-v4-upload-flow.js, dist/client.js, dist/config.js - **Network endpoints:** https://code-inbox.mcisaas.com/api, https://kc.mcisaas.com/auth/realms/numa-realm/.well-known/openid-configuration ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The login flow packages refresh, access, and ID tokens into an upload envelope., That envelope is posted to the package's configured remote account service., The default service is a third-party mcisaas.com host, not an OpenAI endpoint., The client submits a parsed token-pool upload body in a POST request., The default Codex service URL is a code-inbox.mcisaas.com endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Credential transfer is reached through a user-invoked login command, not on import. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tokensrc/codex@1.14.21. - Avoid installing @tokensrc/codex@1.14.21. 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.
