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. zaip init rewrites the user's Codex config.toml to install a first-party pre-tool hook unless --project-only is passed. That is an explicit command mutating a global agent control file, so it is a warning, and npm install has no lifecycle hook that performs the write. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-23T09:59:29.042Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-23T10:01:42.750Z - **Download time:** 2541 ms - **Static scan time:** 830 ms - **AI review time:** 130336 ms - **Total time:** 133708 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:** The published package does not change agent config during npm install. A user zaip init command, by default, rewrites the global Codex config.toml to install a ZAIP pre-tool hook and remove cataloged legacy agent aliases. - **Trigger:** User runs zaip init without --project-only. - **Impact:** The user's global Codex tool hook changes and listed legacy agent name tables can be removed. Project template files are written only as part of that same command. - **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/init.js, dist/services/global-codex-config.js, dist/services/install-agents-template.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T10:01:42.750Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** executeInit sets installGlobalCodexConfig, and installAgentsTemplate calls reconcileGlobalCodexConfig, which reads and replaces CODEX\_HOME or ~/.codex/config.toml with the bundled PreToolUse hook text. - **Rationale:** zaip init rewrites the user's Codex config.toml to install a first-party pre-tool hook unless --project-only is passed. That is an explicit command mutating a global agent control file, so it is a warning, and npm install has no lifecycle hook that performs the write. - **Files touched:** .codex/config.toml, .agents/config/agents/catalog.yaml ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** zaip init enables installGlobalCodexConfig unless --project-only is set or a caller injects templateDirectory., reconcileGlobalCodexConfig defaults to CODEX\_HOME or the user .codex directory and rewrites config.toml., The rewrite installs the ZAIP PreToolUse hook and drops catalog-listed legacy Codex agent tables., After copying the project template, installAgentsTemplate calls reconcileGlobalCodexConfig with the project agent catalog. - **Evidence against:** package.json has a zaip bin and build/prepack scripts only; there is no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., --project-only skips reading or writing ~/.codex., Git, Node, and Terraform downloads are user-command stack setup with official host or SHA-256 checks under the project .local directory., The design Windows launcher source starts a local node script and is not an install-time trigger. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zaip-ai/cli@3.8.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @zaip-ai/cli@3.8.0 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.
