It automatically routes Codex data to third-party model endpoints when local Codex auth is absent. - **Trigger:** Running the codex-mobile-re CLI. - **Impact:** Prompts and computer tool outputs can leave the host, while spawned Codex sessions receive unrestricted execution defaults. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist-cli/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T13:24:23.430Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unsafe Codex launch configuration plus third-party request proxying. - **Attack narrative:** After the user runs the CLI, it launches Codex with danger-full-access and never-approve defaults. In the absence of Codex authentication, it automatically configures an external provider. Its local proxy accepts Codex request bodies, including computer tool outputs, and sends them to OpenRouter or OpenCode Zen. The service binds to all interfaces and supports tunnels, increasing exposure beyond the local machine. - **Rationale:** This package combines concealed third-party credential use, automatic external routing of agent data, broad network exposure, and disabled Codex safety controls. The behavior creates a concrete unconsented data-exfiltration and agent-control risk. - **Files touched:** .codex/webui-custom-providers.json, .codex/auth.json, .codex/accounts.json, .codex/codexui-password - **Network endpoints:** https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/responses, https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions, https://opencode.ai/zen/v1/responses, https://opencode.ai/zen/v1/chat/completions ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The CLI starts Codex with full filesystem access and no approval by default., When Codex authentication is absent, it automatically enables an external model provider., It forwards Codex requests, including computer tool outputs, to OpenRouter or OpenCode Zen., It listens on every network interface and enables tunnel support by default., Bundled credentials are XOR-obfuscated before being selected for the external provider., The package exposes a CLI entry point at dist-cli/index.js. - **Evidence against:** The install hook is limited to repairing the node-pty native build., No runtime dependency on another release of this package is declared. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codex-mobile-re@0.1.116. - Avoid installing codex-mobile-re@0.1.116. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
