Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source does not establish a concrete attack, but it does show default-enabled execution of project-local JavaScript hooks during lifecycle events. This warrants a warning about the extension execution surface.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A session notification or another dispatched lifecycle event occurs while the current project contains a hook module.
Impact
A project-provided hook can perform local actions with the permissions available to the Node process.
Mechanism
The default-enabled dispatcher finds modules in `.omx/hooks` and invokes their event handlers through a Node runner.
AI rationale
The source does not establish a concrete attack, but it does show default-enabled execution of project-local JavaScript hooks during lifecycle events. This warrants a warning about the extension execution surface.
Evidence
dist/hooks/extensibility/loader.jsdist/hooks/extensibility/dispatcher.jsdist/hooks/extensibility/plugin-runner.jsdist/scripts/notify-hook.js.omx/hooks/*.mjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 80.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with high false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Hook modules are discovered under the current project’s `.omx/hooks` directory and are enabled by default unless disabled.
- Session notifications dispatch lifecycle events to the hook system.
- The dispatcher starts a Node runner that imports each discovered module and calls its event handler.
Evidence against
- The plugin directory is project-local, and discovery returns no plugins when it is absent.
- The inspected source does not establish malicious collection, a hidden payload, or automatic downloading of plugins.
