Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install hook does not silently configure agent settings: local installs are skipped, and setup is an explicit command. However, native session events can execute project hook plugins despite the documented opt-out, so the package warrants a capability warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
An OMX session emits a native lifecycle event while the project has hook plugins.
Impact
A project plugin can execute code under the local user's privileges during the session, including when the documented plugin opt-out is set.
Mechanism
The dispatcher discovers project hook files and runs their event handlers by dynamically importing them in a Node child process.
AI rationale
The install hook does not silently configure agent settings: local installs are skipped, and setup is an explicit command. However, native session events can execute project hook plugins despite the documented opt-out, so the package warrants a capability warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Evidence
dist/hooks/extensibility/loader.jsdist/hooks/extensibility/dispatcher.jsdist/hooks/extensibility/plugin-runner.jsdist/cli/index.jsdist/cli/hooks.js.omx/hooks/*.mjs.omx/logs/hooks-<date>.jsonl
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The postinstall helper skips local installs; on global installs it hydrates the native runtime and records an install stamp, while setup remains a separate command.
- Native lifecycle events are explicitly dispatched, and the dispatcher forces runtime hook dispatch for native events even when the plugin setting is disabled.
- The dispatcher discovers project hook plugins and runs them through a Node child process; the runner dynamically imports each plugin and calls its event handler.
- The inspected agent configuration locations are test fixtures or config-reading code; they do not establish install-time agent configuration changes.
Evidence against
- No inspected source establishes publisher-directed credential theft, destructive behavior, or another active attack.
- The extension behavior is tied to project-local hook files and a documented plugin feature, which makes this a capability warning rather than evidence of malicious intent.
