Code Relax Windows, macOS and Linux workstation service

AI Security Review

scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The global install hook performs persistent workstation and first-party agent Skill setup without a separate setup command, creating a lifecycle risk. The inspected account paths use ChatGPT’s service and do not establish a separate concrete attack, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

A global npm installation runs the package’s postinstall hook.

Impact

The service persists across logins and the Skill becomes available to the user’s agent without a separate setup command. This is a lifecycle-triggered agent extension risk; no independent credential theft or account attack was established.

Mechanism

The hook invokes setup, which enables login startup and writes the package-owned Skill into the user’s agent skills directory.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsontools/postinstall.mjsdist/bin/codex-remote.mjsdist/src/skill-install.mjsdist/skills/code-relax/SKILL.md

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package declares a postinstall hook that invokes setup during a direct global npm install.
Setup enables login startup for the workstation service.
Setup installs the package’s own Codex Skill in the user’s agent skills directory and writes its Skill file.
On connection, the messaging client sends a background presence command and subscribes to its configured topic.
The inspected messaging client checks the ChatGPT account identity and sends authenticated requests to ChatGPT’s service.

Evidence against

The lifecycle setup is limited to global npm installs and installs this package’s own Skill.
The inspected account path connects to ChatGPT and does not show credentials sent to an unrelated recipient or an unrequested account change.
