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. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T10:50:53.509Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, ~/.codev-hub/agent-logs/, ~/.codev-hub/upload.lock, ~/.codev-hub/last-upload.json - **Network endpoints:** https://netmind.viettel.vn/codev-backend, https://netmind.viettel.vn/sso-wrapper, https://netmind.viettel.vn/netmindhub ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/index.js decodes https://netmind.viettel.vn as its backend base., CLI launches a detached upload daemon whenever agent-launch commands run and auth exists., Daemon exports Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and CoDev conversation sessions., Exported Markdown is gzip-uploaded through a presigned remote upload flow., \`upload\` is documented, but automatic daemon upload occurs on unrelated agent commands. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook., Automatic upload requires a prior authenticated CoDev session and CLI invocation. ## Public findings ### 1.
