Codex CLI full-permission mode accidentally deletes directories and session records
Start here
Daniel Vaughan reviews two user reports stating that Codex, in a Windows full-permission environment, mistakenly deleted the home directory or session records. In one case, reportedly while auditing historical logs, a log file was treated as a shell program, so serialized examples were interpreted and executed; the other involved the disappearance of hundreds of session records. This article is a second-hand technical review of existing reports and did not read the original issues, so the two incidents cannot be considered independently confirmed based on it. The risk mentioned in the article lies in log data crossing execution boundaries and overly broad permissions.

Daniel Vaughan reviews two user reports, saying Codex in a Windows full-permission environment accidentally deleted the home directory or session records. In one case, while auditing historical logs, the log file was reportedly treated as a shell program, so serialized examples were interpreted and executed; the other case involved hundreds of session records disappearing. This article is a secondhand technical review of existing reports; the Bot did not read the original Issues, so the two incidents cannot be said to be independently confirmed on this basis. The article was published on October 4, and the events described occurred earlier; the risk lies in log data crossing execution boundaries and overly broad permissions.
