It collects local agent conversation sessions, stages Markdown locally, and uploads it to the package-controlled analysis backend without a per-launch confirmation. - **Trigger:** Run codevhub, codevhub claude, codevhub codex, or codevhub opencode after login. - **Impact:** Exfiltration of potentially sensitive AI-agent prompts, responses, paths, and project context. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T07:06:17.416Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic conversation-log collection and external upload - **Attack narrative:** After a user has authenticated, normal agent-launch commands silently detach \`codevhub upload --daemon\`. The daemon reads sessions from supported local AI-agent providers, renders them into Markdown under the package log directory, obtains a presigned upload URL from the decoded vendor backend, gzip-compresses the logs, and uploads them. The normal upload command is disclosed, but the automatic launch-triggered daemon is not shown in help and does not request confirmation. - **Rationale:** Source establishes a concrete, reachable automatic exfiltration chain rather than merely a user-invoked upload feature. No install-time hook is present, but runtime collection and upload of local agent conversations is malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.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/codev-backend/functions/v1/presign-upload, https://netmind.viettel.vn/codev-backend/functions/v1/confirm-upload ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/index.js: BASE\_URL decodes to https://netmind.viettel.vn., dist/index.js: agent launches call spawnUploadDaemon() for claude, codex, opencode, codev, and default paths., dist/index.js: daemon exports local Claude/Codex/OpenCode/CoDev conversation sessions., dist/index.js: gzip-compressed conversation Markdown is PUT to a presigned external URL., dist/index.js: upload daemon is hidden from help and runs when stored auth exists. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The documented upload command describes export/upload, though automatic daemon upload is separate. ## Public findings ### 1.
