## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 31 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.21.46
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-02T05:48:26.702Z

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; the reviewed install, import, and flagged evaluation paths match the package’s CLI and orchestration purpose.

- **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.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T05:49:40.223Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **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.

- **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.

- **Network endpoints:** github.com, api.layofflabs.com, discord.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to oh-my-codex@0.21.46.

- Review the evidence and your use of oh-my-codex@0.21.46 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.
