## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.12.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The CLI forwards provider authentication data to CoDev during explicit provider-auth commands. This matches the package's stated authentication purpose, but the source does not show a distinct consent step for sharing those provider credentials, so warn rather than block.

## Latest scan

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:** Provider credentials are forwarded to CoDev when users connect Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the corresponding codev provider-auth command.

- **Impact:** CoDev receives credentials that may let it act through the user's provider account. The flow is tied to explicit auth commands, but the source shows no separate confirmation specifically for forwarding the provider credentials.

- **Evidence paths:** src/client.mjs, bin/codev.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T15:17:39.921Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI reads provider auth data or extracts an OAuth token, then sends it to CoDev using the user's CoDev authentication.

- **Rationale:** The CLI forwards provider authentication data to CoDev during explicit provider-auth commands. This matches the package's stated authentication purpose, but the source does not show a distinct consent step for sharing those provider credentials, so warn rather than block.

- **Files touched:** src/client.mjs, bin/codev.mjs, $TMPDIR/codev-codex-auth-\*/auth.json, $TMPDIR/codev-cursor-auth-\*

- **Network endpoints:** https://www.trycodev.com/api/cli/codex-auth, https://www.trycodev.com/api/cli/claude-auth, https://www.trycodev.com/api/cli/cursor-auth

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The Codex auth flow reads auth.json and POSTs its contents to CoDev's /api/cli/codex-auth endpoint., The Claude auth flow POSTs the extracted OAuth token to CoDev's /api/cli/claude-auth endpoint., These transfers are triggered by explicit codev codex-auth and codev claude-auth commands., The CLI describes these as authentication flows using the official provider CLIs.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The package is described as a CoDev coding-agent authentication CLI, and the credential transfers occur in its named auth commands.

## Affected versions and remediation
