## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** This is a remote-agent daemon with privileged local harness and configuration actions at runtime. No malicious install-time control-surface mutation is confirmed.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`ainode\`; paired control-plane commands or explicit CLI subcommands then activate features.

- **Impact:** A paired service can request local agent execution and selected global harness installs; daemon startup modifies Claude prompt/trust settings.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/fix-pty-helper.js, dist/index.js, dist/claude-config.js, dist/codex-spawn.js, dist/command-runner.js, dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T21:09:40.317Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Agent harness orchestration, optional permission bypass, and explicit startup registration.

- **Rationale:** Source establishes risky runtime agent orchestration and a Claude configuration mutation, not concrete malware. The lifecycle hook is narrowly scoped to dependency repair, so blocking is not warranted.

- **Files touched:** scripts/fix-pty-helper.js, dist/pty-helper.js, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude.json, $TMPDIR/entities-codex-\*/config.toml

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Postinstall invokes only the node-pty helper repair., Daemon startup silently accepts Claude's bypass-permissions prompt., Codex execution can enable its dangerous bypass flag., Paired-server commands can globally install selected agent harnesses., OS startup persistence requires \`ainode startup enable\`.

- **Evidence against:** No install hook mutates AI-agent configuration., Postinstall is limited to repairing a dependency executable bit., Agent configuration and command execution occur only when the daemon is run., Startup persistence is behind an explicit CLI subcommand.
