Explicit First Tree context setup can install and enable its \`first-tree-context\` extension for Codex or Claude Code. Login exchanges a user-provided code with the configured staging service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T23:44:07.047Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T23:45:10.250Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 12876 ms - **AI review time:** 49825 ms - **Total time:** 63203 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit First Tree context setup can install and enable its \`first-tree-context\` extension for Codex or Claude Code. Login exchanges a user-provided code with the configured staging service. - **Trigger:** User runs \`first-tree-staging context enable\` or \`first-tree-staging login \\`. - **Impact:** The extension gains the capabilities granted by the selected coding-agent platform; credentials are sent only to the configured First Tree service during login. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli/index.mjs, dist/connect-token-D2wTjPuj.mjs, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T23:45:10.250Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked agent-plugin installation and authenticated service connection. - **Rationale:** Not malicious: the scanner's credential-exfiltration conclusion conflates intended authenticated CLI traffic with harvesting. Warn because the package deliberately provisions a persistent coding-agent extension when explicitly invoked. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs, dist/connect-token-D2wTjPuj.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://dev.cloud.first-tree.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/cli/index.mjs exposes explicit \`context enable\` for Codex/Claude., dist/cli/index.mjs installs/enables \`first-tree-context\` in user-scope provider plugin stores., dist/connect-token-D2wTjPuj.mjs defaults staging login to dev.cloud.first-tree.ai., package.json postinstall deletes selected bundled SDK packages only on global installs. - **Evidence against:** Plugin mutation is reached through explicit CLI context-enable options, not postinstall., The installed plugin is First Tree-owned and integrity-checked before provider installation., Login sends a user-supplied connect code to the configured First Tree server; no ambient credential harvesting found., Postinstall scripts are global-install guarded and prune package dependencies rather than agent config. ## Public findings ### 1.
