Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged lifecycle code performs only a global-install advisory stamp write and explicitly declines setup. Broader AI-agent configuration and network notification capabilities are explicit runtime/user-configured features, not a concrete malicious chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Global npm installation; configuration changes require `omx setup`.
Impact
Writes $CODEX_HOME/.omx/install-state.json during global install; explicit setup may configure Codex resources.
Mechanism
global install advisory stamp and explicit Codex extension setup
AI rationale
The flagged lifecycle code performs only a global-install advisory stamp write and explicitly declines setup. Broader AI-agent configuration and network notification capabilities are explicit runtime/user-configured features, not a concrete malicious chain.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has a postinstall hook.
- dist/scripts/postinstall.js writes an install stamp on global installs.
- dist/cli/hooks.js dynamically imports user-created hook plugins.
- Explicit setup can manage Codex configuration surfaces.
Evidence against
- Postinstall is global-only and only records $CODEX_HOME/.omx/install-state.json.
- Postinstall states setup is explicit opt-in and does not invoke setup.
- dist/cli/index.js runs setup only for the explicit `omx setup` command.
- No install-time network, credential harvesting, or payload execution found.
- Network notifications are runtime features configured with user-provided endpoints.
