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 user-run login captures complete OpenAI Codex credentials and uploads them to a non-OpenAI service. The package can subsequently install service-provided credentials into the user's Codex authentication file. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-10T12:07:57.020Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-10T12:09:26.887Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 1251 ms - **AI review time:** 87854 ms - **Total time:** 89867 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The package can subsequently install service-provided credentials into the user's Codex authentication file. - **Trigger:** The user runs the package's Codex login or account-selection commands. - **Impact:** A remote operator can receive reusable OpenAI refresh, access, and ID tokens and control the credentials used by Codex. - **Evidence paths:** dist/enrollment-login.js, dist/token-pool-v4-upload-flow.js, dist/managed-credential-v3-envelope.js, dist/config.js, dist/credentials.js, dist/commands.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-10T12:09:26.887Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Credential capture, remote token-pool upload, and Codex auth-file replacement. - **Attack narrative:** When the user starts the package's login flow, it launches the official Codex login in a temporary home, reads the resulting auth.json, extracts complete refresh, access, and ID tokens, encrypts them for a server-selected key, and uploads the envelope to its token-pool service. Its default server is code-inbox.mcisaas.com. Other commands can write credentials returned by that service into Codex's auth.json, allowing the remote service to determine the credentials used by the official client. - **Rationale:** This is concrete credential exfiltration and credential replacement functionality aimed at OpenAI Codex accounts. The lack of an install hook limits automatic execution but does not make the implemented token-harvesting behavior benign. - **Files touched:** auth.json, config.toml - **Network endpoints:** https://code-inbox.mcisaas.com/api, https://code-inbox.mcisaas.com/public/v1/tenants/numa-realm/client-configuration ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The CLI invokes an isolated official Codex login, reads its auth.json, and extracts ID, access, and refresh tokens., It packages all three tokens into an encrypted envelope for a remote token-pool upload., The default service endpoint is code-inbox.mcisaas.com, not an OpenAI endpoint., The login command explicitly reports that a Codex credential was uploaded to a token pool., It can also replace the user's normal Codex auth.json with credentials supplied by that service., It puts a Codex refresh token, access token, and ID token into the upload envelope. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The credential capture path is activated by a user-run CLI login command rather than package import or installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tokensrc/codex@1.14.34. - Avoid installing @tokensrc/codex@1.14.34. 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.
