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 package transfers Codex credentials to CoDev when the user runs \`codev codex-auth\`, and provides similar Claude and Cursor auth flows. This is consistent with its stated purpose and is not triggered automatically, but the vendor handoff of other AI-service credentials warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T16:36:50.891Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T16:37:48.116Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 413 ms - **AI review time:** 56031 ms - **Total time:** 57225 ms 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:** A user-run agent-auth command transfers another coding agent's login credentials to CoDev. - **Trigger:** Running \`codev codex-auth\`; Claude and Cursor auth commands also exist. - **Impact:** CoDev receives credentials for the user's coding-agent account, enabling it to authenticate that agent on the user's behalf. - **Evidence paths:** src/client.mjs, bin/codev.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T16:37:48.116Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI obtains credentials through the agent's official login flow, reads them from a temporary auth file or captured output, and submits them to the configured CoDev API using the user's CoDev bearer token. - **Rationale:** The package transfers Codex credentials to CoDev when the user runs \`codev codex-auth\`, and provides similar Claude and Cursor auth flows. This is consistent with its stated purpose and is not triggered automatically, but the vendor handoff of other AI-service credentials warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.codev/config.json, /tmp/codev-codex-auth-\*/auth.json - **Network endpoints:** https://www.trycodev.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package describes itself as a CoDev cloud coding-agent authentication CLI., The CLI dispatches \`codex-auth\` to a dedicated authentication function when that command is run., That function starts the official Codex login flow in a temporary \`CODEX\_HOME\`, then reads its \`auth.json\` and sends the auth cache to \`/api/cli/codex-auth\`., The request includes the user's CoDev bearer token and goes to the configured CoDev API, which defaults to \`https://www.trycodev.com\`., Chat mirroring is off until enabled; setup asks before sending prompts, replies, and tool output to CoDev. - **Evidence against:** No install lifecycle scripts are declared; the manifest's scripts are for testing and type checking., The Codex credential handoff requires running the dedicated \`codev codex-auth\` command; it is not triggered at import or install., The Codex login runs in a temporary directory and the package removes it afterward., The separate chat-mirroring feature has an explicit consent prompt and is disabled by default. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @trycodev/cli@0.17.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @trycodev/cli@0.17.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
