Full Analysis
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill explicitly facilitates the injection of instructions designed to bypass AI safety filters.
  • Evidence includes instruction templates like gpt5.4-unrestricted.md and gpt5.5-unrestricted.md specifically intended to enable "unrestricted mode" and provide "penetration testing guidance" or bypass safety refusals.
  • [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill is designed to read, display, and modify sensitive authentication files.
  • It targets ~/.codex/auth.json, which contains chatgpt_auth tokens and api_keys for various providers.
  • It provides programmatic methods (read_auth_json, update_auth) and UI components for managing these secrets.
  • [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill provides instructions to bypass system-level security protections.
  • It explicitly instructs users to execute xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Codex-X.app to bypass the macOS Gatekeeper "app is damaged" warning, which is a security feature intended to prevent the execution of unsigned or modified applications.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill encourages downloading and running pre-built binaries from an untrusted GitHub repository (yynxxxxx/Codex-X).
  • It provides instructions for cloning the repository and building the application, which involves running arbitrary code via pnpm install and tauri build.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill facilitates the execution of local shell commands and filesystem modifications.
  • It modifies config.toml and auth.json files.
  • It interacts with SQLite databases (state_5.sqlite) to update session metadata.
  • It uses Tauri invoke commands to bridge frontend actions to backend Rust operations with filesystem access.
