Codex Usage Widget

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a local Codex usage widget whose file access and install behavior match its stated purpose.

Install only if you are comfortable with a local desktop widget repeatedly reading your Codex usage files and showing session metadata on screen. It does not appear to upload data or read credentials, but it does create or replace its own Übersicht widget directory and maintain a local usage cache.

Finding
The skill directs the user to run local shell scripts and a Python validator that read from and write to user directories, but the skill declares no permissions. Even if the stated purpose is local-only widget installation, this mismatch reduces transparency and weakens security review because file access and shell execution are core capabilities of the skill.
