This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T20:29:20.903Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T20:30:36.096Z - **Download time:** 1013 ms - **Static scan time:** 8193 ms - **AI review time:** 65985 ms - **Total time:** 75193 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit linking transfers local AI-agent credentials to the CodeAgent Mobile backend, and active sessions accept remote relay commands. No malicious install-time control-surface mutation was confirmed. - **Trigger:** User runs \`codeam link \\` and pairs a device, then starts a relay session. - **Impact:** A user who links an agent grants the service access to its credentials and remote control path; compromise or misuse of that service could affect linked sessions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T20:30:36.096Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** credential vault upload and backend command relay - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious chain or unconsented install-time mutation was found. The explicit credential-transfer and remote-command capabilities remain high impact and warrant a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.codeam/anon.json, local AI-agent credential paths selected by \`codeam link\` - **Network endpoints:** https://api.codeagent-mobile.com, https://us.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** \`codeam link\` reads detected local agent credentials and uploads them to the vendor backend., A running relay accepts backend-delivered commands and invokes its command handler., Telemetry is enabled by default and can send identified usage data to PostHog., The package's advertised remote-agent control purpose makes credential forwarding and remote command execution a high-risk capability. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall script only prints usage instructions; it does not mutate files or contact a network service., Credential collection is reached through the explicit \`codeam link \\` pairing workflow and is visibly labelled as vault upload., No unconsented install-time write to Claude, Codex, Cursor, or other foreign AI-agent control configuration was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
