Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe lifecycle hook is limited to global installs and hydrates the package’s own versioned runtime; local installs are a no-op. The flagged credential and account patterns occur in evaluation or test code, with no evidence of automatic credential exfiltration or unrequested account actions.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The postinstall hook runs during installation but skips local installs; global installs may hydrate the package’s native runtime. Evaluation and notification features require their respective use and configuration.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer, account action, or unrelated execution was found in the reviewed paths.
Mechanism
The install hook records an install stamp and may fetch a versioned native runtime. The evaluation collector runs Codex with a configured provider; the Discord listener uses its configured bot token and channel.
AI rationale
The lifecycle hook is limited to global installs and hydrates the package’s own versioned runtime; local installs are a no-op. The flagged credential and account patterns occur in evaluation or test code, with no evidence of automatic credential exfiltration or unrequested account actions.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest’s postinstall hook invokes the package’s own postinstall module; prepare runs a build script.
- Postinstall returns immediately for local installs and hydrates the runtime only for global installs.
- Native runtime hydration uses a versioned release manifest and checks the downloaded archive’s checksum before publishing the binary.
- The OpenAI-key reference is in an evaluation collector that selects a provider and key environment variable for Codex runs.
- The critical-looking secret is fake test data used to verify that bearer credentials are redacted.
- The main module exports package functions without running setup at import time.
