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. An explicit login command obtains official Codex credentials and uploads an encrypted credential bundle to the package's default third-party service. Encryption does not prevent the configured service from receiving the credentials because it supplies the ingress key. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T20:05:53.596Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T20:07:05.425Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 1185 ms - **AI review time:** 69879 ms - **Total time:** 71829 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Encryption does not prevent the configured service from receiving the credentials because it supplies the ingress key. - **Trigger:** A user runs tokensrc-codex login when the remote profile enables the token-pool capability. - **Impact:** The remote service can receive reusable ChatGPT/Codex refresh, access, and ID tokens. - **Evidence paths:** dist/config.js, dist/enrollment-login.js, dist/token-pool-v4-upload-flow.js, dist/client.js, dist/commands.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T20:07:05.425Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Official-token collection followed by remote credential-bundle upload. - **Attack narrative:** The package defaults to a non-OpenAI service. Its login command runs the official Codex login flow, reads the resulting token set, encrypts the refresh, access, and ID tokens using a key obtained from that service, then posts the envelope to its token-pool API. This is a concrete credential-exfiltration capability to a third-party operator, despite requiring an explicit command. - **Rationale:** The package intentionally captures and transmits reusable Codex credentials to a third-party default endpoint. No install hook runs automatically, but the user-invoked flow is still concrete credential exfiltration. - **Files touched:** CODEX\_HOME/auth.json, ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.numa-token-pool-v4-upload.json - **Network endpoints:** https://code-inbox.mcisaas.com/api, code-inbox.mcisaas.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The default service is a third-party host rather than an OpenAI host., The login flow reads the official Codex access, refresh, and ID tokens., It encrypts all three tokens for the configured remote service and posts the envelope to a token-pool endpoint., The CLI exposes this credential-upload flow through its login command. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The credential collection is activated by an explicit CLI login command rather than package installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tokensrc/codex@1.14.45. - Avoid installing @tokensrc/codex@1.14.45. 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.
