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. A successful mobile pairing can trigger automatic forwarding of an existing AI-agent credential. No confirmed covert install-time attack was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T14:32:12.092Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T14:33:48.566Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 6099 ms - **AI review time:** 89873 ms - **Total time:** 96474 ms 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:** A successful mobile pairing can trigger automatic forwarding of an existing AI-agent credential. No confirmed covert install-time attack was identified. - **Trigger:** The user runs pairing and the pairing response includes a plugin authentication token. - **Impact:** An operator-controlled environment variable can redirect an existing agent credential to an unrestricted endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T14:33:48.566Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI reads local agent credentials, automatically links them after pairing, and posts them to an API base that can be environment-overridden. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete credential-forwarding capability activated by an explicit pairing action, not evidence of autonomous malware. The unrestricted API override leaves a real conditional exposure path. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.codeagent-mobile.com, CODEAM\_API\_URL ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI reads existing Claude credential files from the user home directory., After a successful pairing, it automatically starts credential linking when a pairing token is present., The automatic link extracts a local credential and submits it to the link request., The link request includes the credential in its request body., The API destination can be overridden by the CODEAM\_API\_URL environment variable without an allowlist. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only prints usage guidance and does not perform the credential-linking action., The default API base is a package-aligned CodeAgent Mobile host. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codeam-cli@2.75.42. - Review the evidence and your use of codeam-cli@2.75.42 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
