MindExec local runtime and bridge CLI

AI Security Review

scanned 10h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package is a user-launched local AI bridge with powerful but package-aligned shell, remote, and Codex features behind token checks.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

npm install runs grammar setup; user runs mindexec or mind-bridge for runtime features

Impact

Runtime can operate on a workspace and launch Codex when requested, but inspection did not find install-time hijack, persistence, or exfiltration.

Mechanism

package-local grammar setup plus user-invoked local bridge server

Rationale

Source inspection shows high-capability local bridge behavior, but the install hook is limited to package-owned grammar setup and dangerous operations are user-invoked/token-gated. No unconsented foreign agent control-surface mutation, credential exfiltration, destructive persistence, or install-time malicious execution was found.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 82.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

package.json has postinstall: npm run setup:grammars
launch-bridge.cjs bin spawns server.js and can open localhost app on user invocation
server.js exposes protected bridge routes including /api/shell, /api/remote, /api/codex
codex-runtime.js can create ~/.mindexec/codex-runtime and spawn codex for requested agent runs
remote-fast/ ships native binaries and tree-sitter-grammars/ ships wasm assets

Evidence against

scripts/setup-tree-sitter-grammars.mjs only mkdir/copyFile package-local tree-sitter wasm files
No lifecycle writes to Claude/Codex/Cursor/MCP configs, shell startup files, VCS hooks, or autostart entries found
Bridge routes are gated by X-Bridge-Token/Bearer token by default
Codex runtime uses isolated ~/.mindexec/codex-runtime by default and does not inherit MCP servers unless explicitly configured
No credential harvesting or hardcoded exfiltration endpoint found; observed network defaults are localhost/configurable
