Is ai-sdk-provider-codex-cli safe?
- Node.js shell/command execution
- npm prepare hook
ai-sdk-provider-codex-cli is an AI npm_package analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators, though 2 risky constructs are reported for review. It can: install time execution and shell execution — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).

Automated static-analysis result. It can contain false positives and false negatives, and is not a claim about the intent of ai-sdk-provider-codex-cli's authors. Report a false positive.
Behavioral traits
How this component maps to the CSA agentic threat model. Descriptive — it never affects the risk score.
Findings (2)
The component can run operating-system commands or spawn processes.
import { spawn } from 'child_process';const child = spawn(cmd, args, { env, cwd, stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "pipe"] });this.child = spawn(base.cmd, args, {Why it matters: Powerful and often legitimate — confirm the commands aren't built from untrusted input.
Fix: Confirm the command and its arguments are fully controlled and not derived from untrusted input; prefer execFile with an argument array.
package.json has a 'prepare' script (runs on git/local installs and before publishing).
"prepare": "npm run build",
Why it matters: Usually a build step, but confirm it doesn't fetch or run remote code.
Fix: Usually a legitimate build step; confirm it only builds and does not fetch or execute remote code.
