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.mdandgpt5.5-unrestricted.mdspecifically 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 containschatgpt_authtokens andapi_keysfor 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.appto 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 installandtauri build. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill facilitates the execution of local shell commands and filesystem modifications.
- It modifies
config.tomlandauth.jsonfiles. - It interacts with SQLite databases (
state_5.sqlite) to update session metadata. - It uses Tauri
invokecommands to bridge frontend actions to backend Rust operations with filesystem access.
