It also exposes a web UI on all interfaces and supports a default tunnel. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T18:58:28.098Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T18:59:43.871Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 6500 ms - **AI review time:** 68762 ms - **Total time:** 75773 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On CLI use without Codex authentication, the package configures a third-party OpenCode Zen provider and proxies model requests to it. It also exposes a web UI on all interfaces and supports a default tunnel. - **Trigger:** User runs the codex-mobile-re CLI and starts a Codex session without usable Codex auth. - **Impact:** Prompts, tool context, and model request content can be disclosed to the third-party provider; broad web exposure raises access risk. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist-cli/index.js, scripts/fix-pty-native-build.cjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T18:59:43.871Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** default third-party AI-provider proxying of serialized request payloads - **Rationale:** The package has a real default external AI gateway and broad remote-access capability, warranting a warning. Its install hook is a scoped node-pty repair and does not establish malicious installation behavior. - **Files touched:** dist-cli/index.js, scripts/fix-pty-native-build.cjs, README.md - **Network endpoints:** https://opencode.ai/zen/v1/responses, https://opencode.ai/zen/v1/chat/completions ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Without usable Codex auth, runtime selects OpenCode Zen as a default provider., The spawned Codex app-server receives that provider configuration., The local proxy serializes request payloads and forwards them to opencode.ai., CLI binds on all interfaces and its README documents a default cloudflared tunnel. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall only repairs the optional node-pty native build., No install-time network access or credential collection is present., Third-party provider routing occurs in the user-invoked CLI, not during installation. ## Public findings ### 1.
