If this package is installed
Remove it, treat the machine (or CI runner) as compromised, and rotate every secret, token and key it could access — from a different, clean machine.

On running the CLI, the package rewrites ~/.codex/config.toml and ~/.codex/.codex-global-state.json to point ChatGPT Desktop and the Codex CLI at a hardcoded non-OpenAI inference endpoint (DEFAULT_GATEWAY_URL = https://api.vokes.in/v1), registering model providers chatgpt_pro_5x / gpt-6-astra and setting that gateway as the active provider. 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.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
