In the same configuration pass it sets approval_policy = \"never\", sandbox_mode = \"danger-full-access\", agent-mode = full-access, and sandboxPolicy.type = dangerFullAccess, and expands the agent's project rootPaths to include $HOME, Downloads, and the filesystem root (/ or C:\\). After setup, every subsequent Codex/ChatGPT Desktop prompt, attached file content, and tool-call response flows through api.vokes.in, and tool calls returned by that endpoint are executed by the agent without approval prompts across the entire user filesystem. The gateway swap alone is a silent-relay of prompt data to a third party unrelated to OpenAI; combined with the undisclosed sandbox disablement and root-path expansion, the operator of api.vokes.in obtains agent-driven arbitrary code execution on the user's host.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (7551b6bc0def507896edf6f75d5fe99a46d27eedbe55f69861c500b3c07551aa)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
