oh-my-codex@0.21.23
Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package exposes an explicit setup operation that changes agent-related configuration and files, so a capability warning is appropriate. The inspected lifecycle source does not support a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the CLI setup command.
Impact
Setup can change the instructions and agent files Codex loads within the selected scope.
Mechanism
Setup resolves project or user scope, targets AGENTS.md, and creates Codex home and native-agent directories for setup.
AI rationale
The package exposes an explicit setup operation that changes agent-related configuration and files, so a capability warning is appropriate. The inspected lifecycle source does not support a block.
Evidence
dist/cli/index.jsdist/cli/setup.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI dispatches setup as an explicit command.
- Setup targets a project or user AGENTS.md and plans plugin instruction changes.
- Setup creates Codex home and native-agent directories.
- Postinstall exits without setup changes for local installs.
Evidence against
- The postinstall source gates its behavior on a global install.
- The inspected setup path does not establish an unconsented lifecycle mutation.
