codiedev@0.9.65
Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, or VS Code Copilot to Codiedev for team session capture and artifact collaboration — and run the governed Codie harness
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe new hook path can silently replace the installed package with the latest release without asking the user. The updater targets codiedev through the configured npm registry and shows no data theft, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A configured harness hook runs; unless disabled or skipped, it checks at most once per day.
Impact
The package can change executable code between hook invocations without the user approving the update.
Mechanism
A detached child checks the latest codiedev version at the configured npm registry and runs npm, pnpm, or bun to install that version without prompting.
AI rationale
The new hook path can silently replace the installed package with the latest release without asking the user. The updater targets codiedev through the configured npm registry and shows no data theft, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- A hook invocation starts the self-update check, except immediately after hook migration.
- The check can spawn a detached child once per day; environment variables can disable it.
- The child fetches the latest codiedev version and silently invokes a package manager to install it, replacing the running package without a prompt.
Evidence against
- The updater targets codiedev itself through the configured npm registry, defaulting to registry.npmjs.org.
- The updater has explicit opt-out environment variables and skips CI and containers.
- The reviewed updater path contains no transfer of project data or credentials.
