Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T16:13:12.346Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T16:14:41.861Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 5772 ms - **AI review time:** 83241 ms - **Total time:** 89515 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Launching the CLI starts an automatic Codex skills synchronization. It changes the user's Codex AGENTS.md and, on Android, obtains shared skills from a fixed external repository with overwrite enabled. - **Trigger:** Run the codex-mobile-re CLI. - **Impact:** Unreviewed remote skill content can become available through the user's Codex skills directory, while the root agent instruction path is redirected there. - **Evidence paths:** dist-cli/index.js, package.json, scripts/fix-pty-native-build.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T16:14:41.861Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic remote skills sync and Codex agent-file redirection. - **Rationale:** The package has no confirmed install-time credential theft or payload chain, but its normal startup automatically redirects a foreign Codex control file and imports remotely sourced skills. This is a concrete agent-control risk that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/skills/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/skills/shared\_skills - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/OpenClawAndroid/skills.git ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Normal CLI startup automatically initializes a skills sync., The startup path replaces the user's Codex AGENTS.md with a symlink into the skills directory., On Android it fetches and overwrites a shared skills directory from a fixed third-party GitHub repository. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only repairs the bundled node-pty native build and does not target Codex settings., No runtime self-dependency or hardcoded credential-exfiltration receiver was found., The risky agent changes require launching the package CLI, not package installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codex-mobile-re@0.1.109. - Review the evidence and your use of codex-mobile-re@0.1.109 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
