Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The observed network and command features implement the package's user-invoked Codex web gateway. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T19:36:33.602Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T19:37:49.348Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 5356 ms - **AI review time:** 69870 ms - **Total time:** 75746 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The observed network and command features implement the package's user-invoked Codex web gateway. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI and uses its model-provider features. - **Impact:** No unconsented credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or broad install-time mutation was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/fix-pty-native-build.cjs, dist-cli/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T19:37:49.348Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked local gateway and model-request proxying. - **Rationale:** Source inspection shows a broad but package-aligned Codex web interface. The lifecycle hook is a narrowly scoped node-pty repair, and the inspected credential flow defaults to OpenAI rather than a package-controlled receiver. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The CLI can proxy model requests to OpenRouter and OpenCode Zen., The package contains obfuscated shared free-mode keys., The install hook invokes a native PTY repair script. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only targets node-pty files and rebuilds its broken native binding., The default no-auth provider uses a public OpenCode Zen token, not a harvested user credential., The refresh-token flow defaults to OpenAI's OAuth endpoint., No self-dependency, hidden payload download, or install-time foreign agent-control mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codex-mobile-re@0.1.110. - Review the evidence and your use of codex-mobile-re@0.1.110 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.
