AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Static inspection confirms that global installation automatically installs a package-owned Codex skill without a separate confirmation step. This creates a bounded agent extension lifecycle risk, but the inspected source does not establish a concrete malicious payload or data transfer.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A direct global npm install runs the package’s postinstall setup without a separate confirmation for skill installation.

Impact

The package adds instructions to the agent’s available skills, creating an agent lifecycle risk. The inspected skill does not establish private prompt export or another concrete attack.

Mechanism

Setup copies the bundled skill into the package-specific skills directory, where Codex can use its instructions in later interactions.

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 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The manifest runs a postinstall hook. It activates only when invoked directly during a global npm install, then runs this package’s setup and health check.
Setup installs the bundled skill into a package-specific agent skills directory. The installer refuses to replace an existing same-name skill unless it is already managed by this package.
The bundled skill guides Codex interactions about this package’s workstation service and mobile app. Its instructions say mobile message context does not add user authorization.
The inspected account flow checks that the active ChatGPT profile matches the account identity, connects to chatgpt.com, and establishes a background messaging connection and room subscription.
The Windows desktop helper uses a UAC elevation prompt, and the inspected skill installation is limited to the package’s own skill file.
