Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected sources show a default-enabled project plugin execution capability, but no evidence that the package installs a malicious plugin or that its install hook mutates agent configuration. This warrants a warning for the conditional extension risk.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A hook event is dispatched while a project contains plugin files in .omx/hooks.
Impact
A plugin’s code can run with the permissions of the CLI process, creating risk if an untrusted project plugin is present.
Mechanism
The dispatcher discovers project plugins and a child runner imports each module and invokes its event handler; users can disable ordinary plugin dispatch with an environment setting.
AI rationale
The inspected sources show a default-enabled project plugin execution capability, but no evidence that the package installs a malicious plugin or that its install hook mutates agent configuration. This warrants a warning for the conditional extension risk.
Evidence
dist/hooks/extensibility/dispatcher.jsdist/hooks/extensibility/loader.jsdist/hooks/extensibility/plugin-runner.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Hook dispatch is enabled by default unless disabled, and native or derived events can force it on.
- The dispatcher discovers project hook plugins and the runner imports each plugin module before calling its event handler.
- The npm postinstall hook delegates to a script that skips local installs; global installs hydrate the native runtime.
- Agent setup is dispatched through the explicit CLI setup command.
Evidence against
- The inspected lifecycle source describes runtime hydration and install-stamp handling, not hook-plugin creation or agent setup.
- The plugin loader discovers files in the project’s .omx/hooks directory; the inspected sources do not show the package creating plugins there.
