AI Security Review
scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package launcher runs the bundled app, whose default Google OAuth path transfers authentication material to a fixed broker rather than directly to Google. This is credential disclosure to a package-selected recipient without recipient-specific consent, supporting a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs Google OAuth enrollment through the zortex command.
Impact
The broker receives material used to obtain and renew access to the user's Google account.
Mechanism
The bundled app posts the Google authorization code and PKCE verifier to the broker, then posts stored refresh tokens there during refresh.
Attack narrative
During Google OAuth enrollment, the bundled app sends the authorization code and PKCE verifier to a package-selected broker. The refresh path also sends stored refresh tokens to that broker. The source shows no recipient-specific consent gate for these transfers.
AI rationale
The package launcher runs the bundled app, whose default Google OAuth path transfers authentication material to a fixed broker rather than directly to Google. This is credential disclosure to a package-selected recipient without recipient-specific consent, supporting a publish block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package exposes the zortex command, whose launcher starts the bundled app through Bun.
- Google enrollment dispatches to an OAuth flow that uses the compiled shared client ID by default when no override is supplied.
- The default Google token exchange sends the authorization code and PKCE verifier to a fixed Zortex-branded broker.
- After acquiring the authorization code, enrollment calls the exchange function, which sends its payload in a POST request.
- The refresh path also sends the stored Google refresh token to that broker in a POST request.
