## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Persistent background execution and exposure of the local application's file/Git control APIs to the network.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Persistence
- **Selected version:** 1.0.8
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Installation automatically establishes per-user login persistence without a user command or consent. The persisted command launches a detached local dashboard server, which defaults to all interfaces.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation automatically establishes per-user login persistence without a user command or consent. The persisted command launches a detached local dashboard server, which defaults to all interfaces.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation; then each user login.

- **Impact:** Persistent background execution and exposure of the local application's file/Git control APIs to the network.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/setup-startup.js, bin/ohmycode.js, build/index.js, build/server/chunks/\_server.ts-DmJ1tcuW.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T04:07:18.415Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Cross-platform startup registration plus detached server launch.

- **Attack narrative:** On install, package.json runs bin/setup-startup.js. It writes a Windows Run registry entry, Linux autostart desktop file, or macOS LaunchAgent so ohmycode runs at future logins without an explicit setup command. The CLI launches its server detached; its compiled server defaults to 0.0.0.0 and exposes project file write and Git-management routes. This is unconsented install-time persistence with a broad local control surface.

- **Rationale:** The package performs concrete, cross-platform login persistence from postinstall, rather than only when a user invokes its CLI. Its background server also binds broadly by default, increasing the impact of that persistence.

- **Files touched:** package.json, bin/setup-startup.js, bin/ohmycode.js, ~/.ohmycode/ohmycode-silent.vbs, HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run, ~/.config/autostart/ohmycode.desktop, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.ohmycode.startup.plist

- **Network endpoints:** http://0.0.0.0:${PORT}

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json invokes setup-startup.js via postinstall., setup-startup.js creates OS login-start persistence on Windows, Linux, and macOS., Windows branch writes a VBS launcher and modifies HKCU Run through reg add., Linux and macOS branches write autostart/LaunchAgent files that execute ohmycode., The persisted CLI detaches a local server and leaves it running in the background., build/index.js binds that server to 0.0.0.0 by default.

- **Evidence against:** README describes a Git/Kanban desktop-style tool with a system tray., No credential harvesting, remote endpoint, or payload download was found in inspected entrypoints.
