Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A configured environment variable can redirect a saved ChatGPT refresh token to an arbitrary endpoint. No covert default recipient was established. - **Trigger:** The launched service receives an app-server account token-refresh request while CODEX\_REFRESH\_TOKEN\_URL\_OVERRIDE is set. - **Impact:** An operator-configured destination can receive a reusable ChatGPT refresh token. - **Evidence paths:** dist-cli/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T09:08:59.829Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It reads the Codex auth file, places the refresh token in a POST body, and sends that body to the selected URL. - **Rationale:** The unrestricted endpoint override forwards an existing service credential and is reachable from the active service flow. This warrants a warning for credential exposure, but the inspected code does not establish covert theft or malware intent. - **Files touched:** dist-cli/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://auth.openai.com/oauth/token ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI reads the existing Codex authentication refresh token and posts it to a URL selected by an unrestricted environment override., The token-refresh routine is invoked automatically when the app-server requests an account token refresh. - **Evidence against:** The manifest postinstall hook is limited to repairing the optional node-pty native build., The override falls back to the OpenAI OAuth token endpoint when it is not set. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codex-mobile-re@0.1.126. - Review the evidence and your use of codex-mobile-re@0.1.126 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.
