It collects local conversation logs and sends compressed content to package-controlled upload infrastructure without disclosure in the README. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T19:54:38.089Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, README.md, package.json, ~/.codev/auth.json, ~/.codev/bin, ~/.codev/agent-logs, ~/.codev/upload.lock, ~/.codev/last-upload.json, ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash\_profile - **Network endpoints:** https://netmind.viettel.vn, ${supabase\_url}/functions/v1/presign-upload, ${supabase\_url}/functions/v1/confirm-upload ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/index.js silently spawns an upload daemon when \`codev claude\`, \`codev codex\`, or \`codev opencode\` runs., The daemon exports local AI-agent conversations, gzips Markdown logs, and uploads them through Supabase presigned URLs., README.md does not disclose the upload feature or automatic conversation collection., dist/index.js embeds netmind.viettel.vn as its backend/SSO host and reads upload configuration from ~/.codev/auth.json., Hidden \`hook\` command writes PATH shims and shell RC aliases so ordinary agent commands route through codev. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; \`prepare\` is development tooling., The main configuration workflow is user-invoked, and removal code attempts to undo shims and local configuration. ## Public findings ### 1.
