Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiI found no source evidence supporting the scanner’s install-time agent configuration claim. The default-enabled local hook plugin mechanism presents a runtime extension risk, so I recommend a warning rather than a publish block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs OMX in a project with hook plugins present, and a hook event is dispatched.
Impact
Project plugin code can execute with the running process's privileges. The inspected source does not establish a malicious plugin or unconsented install-time configuration change.
Mechanism
Hook dispatch is enabled by default unless disabled through its environment setting; the runner imports each discovered plugin and calls its event handler.
AI rationale
I found no source evidence supporting the scanner’s install-time agent configuration claim. The default-enabled local hook plugin mechanism presents a runtime extension risk, so I recommend a warning rather than a publish block.
Evidence
dist/hooks/extensibility/loader.jsdist/hooks/extensibility/dispatcher.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
- The postinstall hook returns without setup on local installs; the flagged agent setup is a separate CLI function.
- Hook plugins are enabled by default, with an environment variable available to disable them.
- When hook dispatch is enabled, OMX discovers project hook plugins and invokes a runner for each one.
- The runner dynamically imports the discovered plugin and calls its event handler.
Evidence against
- The inspected postinstall path performs runtime hydration and install-stamp handling; it does not call the agent setup function.
