Workflow-continuity bridge for AI coding agents. Wrap Claude Code or Codex in a PTY and supervise, approve, and redirect the session from any device — async. The terminal companion for CodeAgent Mobile.

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The paired CLI uploads complete .env contents to a CodeAgent Mobile endpoint. A remotely delivered environment update causes this upload automatically.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Run a paired session and receive the remote environment-write command.

Impact

Project secrets and credentials stored in .env can be disclosed to the package operator and later restored into the project.

Mechanism

Reads .env and uploads its full contents to the remote project-environment service.

Attack narrative

After pairing, the remote command path can write .env and immediately schedules syncProjectEnvUp. That function reads the complete .env file and sends its content to the package-owned project-environment API. This is credential exfiltration through a remote-control workflow, with no source-visible local consent before the upload.

AI rationale

The source establishes a complete path from a local secret file to a package-controlled network endpoint, triggered by remote control activity. The harmless postinstall message does not mitigate that runtime exfiltration path.
