This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T04:14:26.056Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T04:16:07.636Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 14228 ms - **AI review time:** 86596 ms - **Total time:** 101580 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicit \`context enable\` workflow can add a First Tree Context plugin to Codex. The install-time hook only prunes selected dependencies in global installs; no credential-exfiltration chain was confirmed. - **Trigger:** User runs the context enable or login CLI commands; postinstall runs only on package installation. - **Impact:** A user-approved context setup can change Codex plugin state; lifecycle pruning can remove selected globally installed dependencies. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli/index.mjs, dist/connect-token-9ApTIOZp.mjs, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T04:16:07.636Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit AI-agent plugin setup and global-install dependency pruning. - **Rationale:** This is a real, user-invoked AI-agent extension capability and install-time dependency mutation, so warning is appropriate. The inspected source does not establish malicious credential exfiltration, stealth persistence, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface modification. - **Files touched:** dist/cli/index.mjs, dist/connect-token-9ApTIOZp.mjs, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://dev.cloud.first-tree.ai, https://download.first-tree.ai/releases ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Explicit context setup can install and enable a First Tree plugin through the Codex CLI., postinstall deletes bundled runtime/SDK dependency directories during global installs. - **Evidence against:** Context enable requires provider/team inputs, a prior plan ID, scope, and confirmation., Login persists only the credential supplied to its explicit login command., No source evidence of credential harvesting or transfer to an unofficial fixed gateway., The lifecycle prune skips non-global installs to avoid deleting a consumer app's shared dependencies. ## Public findings ### 1.
