Installation context

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

Most scanner hits are false positives from a generated Markdown transcript, Markdown backtick fences, and defensive secret-scan regexes. Confirmed risk remains because the active workflow reads local Codex session history, writes a transcript into the repository, and can push that transcript to a remote.

High

README.md:3

Hidden file in home directory

Commit Chat Push is a Codex skill for shipping code with its implementation provenance. It guides Co

The README states that the skill exports transcripts from ~/.codex/sessions. This is expected behavior, but those local session logs can contain sensitive user and tool data.

High

SKILL.md:3

Hidden file in home directory

description: Commit and push repository changes while also exporting and committing the Codex chat/s

The skill description explicitly targets transcripts from ~/.codex/sessions. Those session files can contain prompts, tool metadata, local paths, and sensitive terminal content.

Medium

README.md:42

Shell command substitution

--repo "$(pwd)" \

The README documents running the exporter with $(pwd). It is legitimate usage, but it executes local tooling that reads Codex session data.

Medium

README.md:3

Hidden file access

Commit Chat Push is a Codex skill for shipping code with its implementation provenance. It guides Co

The README documents access to ~/.codex/sessions. This is legitimate for the skill, but it is real access to sensitive local session history.

Medium

SKILL.md:31-36

Ruby/shell backtick execution

```bash

The workflow tells the agent to run a Python exporter from CODEX_HOME with repository command substitution. This is intended, but it reads local Codex session data and writes a transcript into the repo.

Medium

SKILL.md:65-66

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- If the branch already has an upstream, run `git push`.

The workflow instructs git push, which can publish code and transcript data to a remote repository. This is intended behavior but security-relevant.

Medium

SKILL.md:66-71

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- If it does not and a default remote exists, run `git push -u origin HEAD`.

The workflow instructs git push -u origin HEAD when no upstream exists. This can publish committed transcript data to a remote repository.

Medium

SKILL.md:33

Shell command substitution

--repo "$(pwd)" \

The exporter command uses $(pwd) inside the active workflow. This is normal local shell use, but it is still command execution around sensitive transcript export.

Medium

SKILL.md:31-36

Template literal with command substitution

```bash

The matched block is the active exporter command, including shell substitution for the repository path. The command is expected but handles sensitive Codex session data.

Medium

SKILL.md:3

Hidden file access

description: Commit and push repository changes while also exporting and committing the Codex chat/s

The skill explicitly works with ~/.codex/sessions, which is sensitive local application state. This access is intended but must be treated as privacy-relevant.

Low

scripts/export_codex_session.py:34

Python environment access

default_root = Path(os.environ.get("CODEX_HOME", Path.home() / ".codex")) / "sessions"

The script reads CODEX_HOME to locate the Codex sessions directory. This is expected configuration, but it controls where sensitive session logs are read from.

Risk findings

Confirmed security concerns are separated from items that still need review.

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 High

SKILL.md:10-12 SKILL.md:64-66 scripts/export_codex_session.py:300-363

Sensitive Transcript Publication Workflow

The skill intentionally exports Codex session transcripts, commits them with code changes, and pushes the branch. Even with redaction defaults, this can publish user prompts, commands, local context, and command metadata if review is skipped.

The active workflow combines transcript export, commit, and push, and the exporter renders conversation plus tool activity into Markdown. The risk is contextual disclosure, not hidden malware.

Remediation

Suggested fixes recorded by this audit. Applying them is the maintainer’s responsibility.

FIX-001
High
Sensitive transcript disclosure

Require explicit review of the exported transcript before staging and keep tool output disabled by default.
FIX-002
Medium
Remote publication of transcript data

Show the target remote and branch before push, and require explicit approval when pushing a new upstream.
FIX-003
Medium
Noisy committed transcript fixture

Replace the large committed transcript with a short sanitized example that omits historical shell command blocks.
FIX-004
Medium
Raw session handling

Continue warning against raw JSONL commits and add a repository ignore rule for raw Codex session files.
