Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo concrete malicious install-time behavior or unconsented foreign control-surface mutation was found. The package nevertheless has a real first-party AI-agent extension lifecycle surface that warrants a warning.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
User runs `omx setup`, `omx`, or `omx resume`; not npm postinstall for configuration changes.
Impact
Can alter Codex configuration and project/user agent guidance when the CLI is invoked.
Mechanism
first-party Codex plugin/config and hook setup
AI rationale
No concrete malicious install-time behavior or unconsented foreign control-surface mutation was found. The package nevertheless has a real first-party AI-agent extension lifecycle surface that warrants a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- `dist/cli/setup.js` explicitly writes Codex config, hooks, agents, skills, prompts, and AGENTS.md.
- `dist/cli/index.js` can register and enable the packaged OMX Codex plugin during CLI launch/resume.
- `dist/autoresearch/runtime.js` executes a user-provided evaluator command with `shell: true`.
Evidence against
- `package.json` postinstall only imports `dist/scripts/postinstall.js`.
- `dist/scripts/postinstall.js` runs only for global installs, writes an install-version stamp, and states setup is opt-in.
- No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, or install-time network/payload execution was found.
- Runtime network features are explicit update, URL-reader, native-download, or configured notification functionality.
