Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill explicitly instructs users to download and execute code from an external source via high-risk shell pipes. This includes
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/b-nnett/codex-plusplus/main/install.sh | bashfor Unix-based systems andirm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/b-nnett/codex-plusplus/main/install.ps1 | iexfor Windows. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill facilitates extensive interaction with the local shell to install, repair, and update the tweak system, including commands like
codexplusplus install,codexplusplus update, and recursive directory deletion usingrm -rffor troubleshooting. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill includes instructions to bypass macOS Gatekeeper security protections using the
xattr -cr /Applications/Codex.appcommand and describes patching theapp.asarbinary, which compromises the integrity of the installed application. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The skill is centered around a runtime that patches a desktop application to discover and execute ESM modules (tweaks) with full Electron renderer privileges. This allows for the runtime injection and execution of code not originally packaged with the application.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill establishes an attack surface where instructions processed from external 'tweak' manifests or scripts could influence agent behavior or lead to malicious outcomes.
- Ingestion points: Tweak directories such as
~/Library/Application Support/codex-plusplus/tweaks/where the agent reads manifests and code. - Boundary markers: None; the skill does not provide clear delimiters or warnings for the agent to ignore potentially malicious instructions inside third-party tweaks.
- Capability inventory: Binary patching, shell command execution, file system modification, and execution of arbitrary JavaScript/TypeScript code.
- Sanitization: There is no documented validation or sanitization process for the contents of the tweaks before they are executed in the Electron environment.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/b-nnett/codex-plusplus/main/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
