## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 26 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 2.75.39
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

The link flow copies an existing Claude session credential, including a macOS keychain item, to the API base URL. That base is the vendor host unless CODEAM\_API\_URL selects another endpoint with no allowlist. npm install does not perform this upload.

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 link flow copies an existing Claude session credential, including a macOS keychain item, to the API base URL. That base is the vendor host unless CODEAM\_API\_URL selects another endpoint with no allowlist. npm install does not perform this upload.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the codeam link or pair command, which calls uploadAndSucceed.

- **Impact:** An operator-chosen endpoint can receive a live Claude or Codex session credential. The default recipient is the package vendor API, and install time does not send it.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T14:35:30.027Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** extractLocalClaudeToken loads local Claude credentials and postLinkCredential posts them with postJsonAuthed to API\_BASE/api/plugin/agents/{id}/link. API\_BASE comes from resolveApiBaseUrl.

- **Rationale:** Install only prints a banner, but the explicit link command reads local agent session credentials and posts them to an API base that CODEAM\_API\_URL can set to any host. That is conditional credential exposure to an unrestricted endpoint, not a hidden install-time theft chain.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.config/claude/.credentials.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.codeagent-mobile.com, https://dev-api.codeagent-mobile.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The npm postinstall hook only runs dist/postinstall.js, which writes a usage banner to stdout., resolveApiBaseUrl returns the CODEAM\_API\_URL environment value unchanged when it is set, with no host allowlist; otherwise it uses the vendor API., extractLocalClaudeToken reads Claude credential files and, on macOS, queries the keychain with the security command., postLinkCredential sends that credential in a JSON body to API\_BASE/api/plugin/agents/{id}/link., uploadAndSucceed performs that post during the user link flow after telling the user it is sealing the credential., The bin entry dispatches link and pair only when those commands are passed on the CLI.

- **Evidence against:** package.json does not depend on codeam-cli and has no preinstall hook., The default API host is https://api.codeagent-mobile.com, and the upload text describes a user vault., The hinted .claude installer path runs only when the CLI launches Claude and prompts on an interactive terminal before the official installer.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to codeam-cli@2.75.39.

- Review the evidence and your use of codeam-cli@2.75.39 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.
