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 lifecycle scripts have package-related purposes: preparation builds the distribution, while postinstall hydrates the package’s native runtime only for global installs. The flagged credential reference belongs to an evaluation collector, and the inspected source does not show it being used by installation or default import behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:35:11.022Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:36:19.427Z - **Download time:** 1272 ms - **Static scan time:** 12039 ms - **AI review time:** 55092 ms - **Total time:** 68405 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; lifecycle behavior supports package building and global-install native runtime setup. - **Trigger:** prepare runs during package preparation; postinstall runs during installation but exits without action for local installs, and hydrates the runtime for global installs. - **Impact:** Expected build and native runtime setup behavior; no install-time collection of host, user, project, or credential data was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:36:19.427Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The prepare script may install project dependencies with npm scripts disabled and build the package. The global postinstall downloads the package’s native runtime from its GitHub release and caches it. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle scripts have package-related purposes: preparation builds the distribution, while postinstall hydrates the package’s native runtime only for global installs. The flagged credential reference belongs to an evaluation collector, and the inspected source does not show it being used by installation or default import behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, src/scripts/prepare-build.js, dist/scripts/postinstall.js, dist/cli/native-assets.js - **Network endpoints:** github.com, api.layofflabs.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The prepare hook builds the package; if compiled output is missing, it bootstraps project dependencies with scripts disabled, then runs the build., The postinstall hook does nothing for local installs and hydrates the native runtime only for global installs., The runtime download URL is derived from the package repository’s GitHub release, consistent with fetching this package’s own native asset., The OpenAI key reference is in an evaluation collector that runs Codex for evaluation records, not in the install hooks. - **Evidence against:** The global-install postinstall performs network access and writes a native runtime binary to a cache location., The evaluation collector can configure Codex to use OPENAI\_API\_KEY with the layofflabs provider when evaluating internal model names. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to oh-my-codex@0.21.44. - Review the evidence and your use of oh-my-codex@0.21.44 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.
