CODEX FIXES IMAGE TRANSPARENCY AND PATH RESOLUTION VULNERABILITIES

Codex shipped native transparency support for image generation and patched a directory traversal risk in project path resolution.

The image generation skill now uses built-in transparency requests instead of chroma-key workarounds, with explicit CLI fallback confirmation between model versions [1]. Two separate patches tightened line-ending handling: a feature flag preserves CRLF and mixed endings in apply_patch operations [2], while a new PreserveLineEndings mode offers opt-in protection without breaking existing APIs [3]. Plugin installation tracking improved with the addition of installAttemptId forwarding to remote systems, letting clients correlate requests with specific attempts [5]. The most critical fix bounds Cursor project path resolution to 128 probes instead of recursive directory scanning, closing a potential DoS vector on large filesystem trees [4].
