@viraatdas/rudder@2.14.83

A TUI for managing coding agents: run Claude Code, Codex and opencode side by side, each in its own isolated jj workspace.

AI Security Review

scanned 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The user-invoked cloud workflow can disclose local service credentials to the cloud workspace without a separate credential-transfer confirmation. The source supports a warning for conditional exposure, but does not establish covert theft or another concrete attack chain.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user runs the cloud workspace attach command while the account has no active cloud vault secrets.

Impact

The remote workspace may receive and use the included provider credentials and agent sessions.

Mechanism

The attach flow includes credentials in the snapshot by default when the vault is inactive, then posts the archive to the cloud workspace endpoint.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/cloud.js

Network endpoints1

rudder-cloud-control.fly.dev

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

Snapshot creation stages local credentials, including Claude credentials from the macOS Keychain, agent credential files, and selected provider-token environment variables.
The workspace attach flow includes credentials when the cloud vault is inactive and uploads the snapshot to the attach endpoint.
The cloud client sends requests to the configured Rudder Cloud URL or its publisher default, using a Rudder Cloud bearer token.
The other required agent locations read Claude project-history paths and the local Codex model cache; they do not establish account mutations.

Evidence against

Credential transfer occurs through the workspace-attach feature and is consistent with its remote-worker function; the inspected source does not establish covert collection or misuse.
