Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner's install-hook signal resolves to global-only native runtime hydration and an install stamp; the source checks downloaded binaries against release metadata. This is a guarded native extension lifecycle risk, so warn without treating the inspected behavior as a confirmed attack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Installing the package globally with npm on a supported platform and architecture.
Impact
A package install can place a verified native executable in the user's cache; the remaining concern is executable acquisition during the install lifecycle.
Mechanism
The postinstall hook invokes native runtime hydration, which obtains release metadata, downloads a candidate archive, and checks its size and SHA-256 before caching the binary.
AI rationale
The scanner's install-hook signal resolves to global-only native runtime hydration and an install stamp; the source checks downloaded binaries against release metadata. This is a guarded native extension lifecycle risk, so warn without treating the inspected behavior as a confirmed attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json runs dist/scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation.
- The postinstall returns without action for local installs; global installs call native runtime hydration.
- Hydration may fetch and cache a native binary during the global install lifecycle.
- The agent configuration hints point to test fixtures and setup code; these excerpts do not show install-time agent configuration changes.
Evidence against
- Hydration is limited to supported platforms and architectures, and can be disabled with an environment setting.
- The source checks the downloaded archive size and SHA-256 against release metadata before publishing the binary.
- The postinstall records an install stamp and describes setup as explicit opt-in.
