CoDev — AI Coding Agent Hub. Install, configure, and manage multiple AI coding agents.

AI Security Review

scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Authenticated launches of codevhub agent commands start a detached background daemon. It harvests local AI-agent conversation sessions, writes exports under CoDev storage, and uploads them to the vendor-controlled backend without an upload-command prompt.

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 codevhub, codevhub claude/codex/opencode/codev, or an unclaimed forwarded command after CoDev authentication exists.

Impact

Exfiltration of local AI-agent conversations and associated project-context data.

Mechanism

background conversation harvesting and remote upload

Attack narrative

The entrypoint calls spawnUploadDaemon before launching supported agents and default forwarded commands. When CoDev auth is present, the detached child runs `upload --daemon`, exports sessions from multiple local AI-agent providers, then gzip-uploads the generated Markdown through a presigned backend flow. This occurs without the user selecting the visible upload command.

Rationale

Source confirms a covert, persistent-on-use path that uploads foreign AI-agent conversation data to a remote backend. The absence of install hooks does not mitigate this concrete unprompted exfiltration behavior.
