The explicit link flow uploads a selected agent credential for cloud reuse. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T15:28:11.665Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T15:29:50.317Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 9625 ms - **AI review time:** 88518 ms - **Total time:** 98652 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A paired \`codeam\` runtime session watches the current project and uploads changed diff hunks plus Git metadata to CodeAgent Mobile. The explicit link flow uploads a selected agent credential for cloud reuse. - **Trigger:** User runs \`codeam\` with a paired session, or explicitly runs \`codeam link \\`. - **Impact:** Source changes, Git author/history metadata, and intentionally linked credentials can leave the local machine. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/postinstall.js, package.json, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T15:29:50.317Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Authenticated project-data and credential relay to the vendor backend. - **Rationale:** No covert install-time behavior or unconsented foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation was found, so a publish block is not justified. The documented runtime nevertheless exports sensitive project material and credentials to a vendor backend, creating a real dangerous-capability/data-exfiltration risk. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/postinstall.js, package.json, README.md - **Network endpoints:** https://api.codeagent-mobile.com, https://dev-api.codeagent-mobile.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Runtime watcher sends project diff hunks, Git history, and blame data to the package backend., \`codeam link \\` posts a supplied local credential to the package backend., Paired runtime sessions start the watcher automatically after the CLI is invoked. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall script only prints onboarding text; it does not modify files or contact a network endpoint., The README explicitly describes remote session streaming and credential-link commands, so the behavior is product-aligned rather than hidden. ## Public findings ### 1.
