Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The install hook does not run its setup for local installs, and global installs hydrate the package's own native runtime from its versioned GitHub release path. The credential-using eval collector is an explicit evaluation feature, not an automatic install or import action. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T15:36:03.329Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T15:37:11.866Z - **Download time:** 1532 ms - **Static scan time:** 11934 ms - **AI review time:** 55069 ms - **Total time:** 68537 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No attack was identified. Installation may hydrate the package's native runtime during global installs. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; runtime hydration is gated to global installs. - **Impact:** No automatic collection or transmission of host, project, or credential data was found in the reviewed install path. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T15:37:11.866Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook downloads the versioned native runtime from the package's GitHub release path and records the installed version. The eval collector runs only when invoked for evaluation work. - **Rationale:** The install hook does not run its setup for local installs, and global installs hydrate the package's own native runtime from its versioned GitHub release path. The credential-using eval collector is an explicit evaluation feature, not an automatic install or import action. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/scripts/postinstall.js, dist/cli/native-assets.js, src/scripts/prepare-build.js, dist/evals/astra-defaults/collector.js - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook calls the package's postinstall module., The postinstall module exits without action for local installs; on global installs it hydrates the native runtime and updates an install-version stamp., Native release downloads default to the package's GitHub repository and versioned release path., The eval collector is an exported function; its Codex invocation is part of evaluation work, not package installation. - **Evidence against:** The prepare script bootstraps dependencies with --ignore-scripts before running the build., The eval collector can use OPENAI\_API\_KEY and clone the project's GitHub repository when its evaluation collection is invoked. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to oh-my-codex@0.21.37. - Review the evidence and your use of oh-my-codex@0.21.37 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
