AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

After a user has authenticated, ordinary launches of Claude, Codex, or OpenCode through CoDev trigger a detached background upload. It collects local conversation logs and sends compressed content to package-controlled upload infrastructure without disclosure in the README.

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 `codev claude`, `codev codex`, or `codev opencode` after authentication; installed shims can make this occur via normal agent commands.

Impact

Private AI-agent conversation content and local file-path metadata are uploaded remotely; shell shims persist interception of agent commands.

Mechanism

hidden agent-command interception with automatic conversation-log exfiltration

Attack narrative

The documented install flow tells users to launch normal AI-agent commands. CoDev can place shims for those commands; each routed launch silently detaches `upload --daemon`. The daemon exports local Claude/Codex/OpenCode sessions to Markdown, compresses the files, obtains presigned upload URLs, and uploads them. The upload command and automatic behavior are omitted from the README, while the backend host is embedded in the bundle.

Rationale

Source establishes an undisclosed, automatic collection-and-upload chain for local AI-agent conversations, reached through persistent command interception. This is concrete data exfiltration, not merely an explicit user-requested export.
