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 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected lifecycle behavior is product-aligned setup, and credential handling is directed to intended provider endpoints or an explicitly used Rudder cloud vault. Static similarity hints did not establish malicious behavior in the source reviewed.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

The npm postinstall hook runs during installation; other credential handling requires a Rudder cloud command or interactive cloud flow.

Impact

No unconsented credential export, broad agent configuration change, or other concrete attack effect was established.

Mechanism

The hook installs a checksum-pinned jj release when no suitable copy exists. Quota checks use provider credentials with their provider endpoint, and cloud transfers target the Rudder vault after explicit action or confirmation.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/postinstall.mjsdist/jj-binary.jsdist/cloud.jsdist/usage.jsdist/board/daemon.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The postinstall sets up Rudder’s workspace tool only when needed; the downloaded release is versioned and checksum-pinned.
Codex quota checks send the saved access token to ChatGPT’s usage endpoint; cloud parity reads account identity and compares it with the cloud account.
Cloud credential transfers happen through an explicit sync command or after an interactive confirmation to store credentials in the Rudder cloud vault.
The flagged Claude, Codex, and dashboard paths read app-specific session, model-cache, and local dashboard data; they do not establish foreign agent settings changes.
Other flagged paths support local task handling, secret redaction, explicit improvement scheduling, feedback, and paste upload features.

Evidence against

The manifest has no dependency on its own package; its runtime dependencies are unrelated packages.
No unrelated credential recipient or unconsented broad agent configuration mutation was identified in the inspected source.

Unverified Remote Native Payload Install

Install-time source downloads a native archive from a fixed external host without transport verification, extracts it, and installs an executable payload.
