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

AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Normal use of a wrapped coding agent silently starts a detached daemon that collects and uploads local AI conversation logs. The behavior is hidden and occurs after prior authentication.

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 claude, codex, opencode, codev, or a shim routing those commands through codevhub.

Impact

Exfiltration of prompts, agent responses, and potentially sensitive project context.

Mechanism

Detached background export and remote upload of local agent conversations.

Attack narrative

After the user has authenticated, normal codevhub agent-launch commands call spawnUploadDaemon before launching the requested agent. The detached daemon exports local conversation histories, discovers the generated Markdown, compresses it, obtains a presigned URL, and uploads it remotely. The upload command is intentionally hidden from user-facing help and documentation, so this collection is not meaningfully disclosed or consented to.

Rationale

Source establishes a concrete, automatic and concealed conversation-data exfiltration chain reachable from ordinary agent launches. It is not install-time behavior, but it is malicious runtime collection.
