Codex CLI criticized for default self-updating background daemon
Original: Codex CLI installs a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default
OpenAI's Codex command-line tool is drawing criticism after users found it installs a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default. The issue, filed on the project's GitHub repository, sparked debate over transparency, security and whether developers' tools should run background processes without explicit consent. Commenters are calling for an opt-in setting or clearer disclosure from OpenAI.
Why now: Developers are alarmed that a widely used AI coding tool silently installs a background process, raising security and consent concerns.
