This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-30T16:45:57.244Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-30T16:46:40.439Z - **Download time:** 1012 ms - **Static scan time:** 1250 ms - **AI review time:** 40932 ms - **Total time:** 43195 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** After explicit launch and pairing, this package runs a remote-controlled AI-agent daemon. It pre-accepts Claude bypass-permission prompts and can launch agents with bypass flags. - **Trigger:** User runs ainode and completes the pairing flow; then queued runtime requests arrive. - **Impact:** A compromised or over-authorized paired service could cause high-privilege AI-agent actions on the host. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/fix-pty-helper.js, dist/index.js, dist/claude-config.js, dist/claude-spawn.js, dist/codex-spawn.js, dist/request-pump.js, dist/command-runner.js, dist/config.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-30T16:46:40.439Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Paired RPC polling, local AI-agent spawning, and permission-config mutation. - **Rationale:** The package is not conclusively malicious, but it deliberately provides a high-impact remotely dispatched AI-agent control capability and suppresses an agent safety prompt at runtime. Its lifecycle hook is narrowly scoped to repairing node-pty permissions. - **Files touched:** ~/.ainode/state.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude.json, node-pty spawn-helper - **Network endpoints:** https://syhzpqqvrplaqdipcymw.supabase.co/rest/v1/rpc/\*, https://vault.add.ai/add/entity ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/claude-config.js writes ~/.claude/settings.json to accept bypass-permissions warnings., dist/claude-spawn.js can pass --dangerously-skip-permissions for runtime requests., dist/codex-spawn.js can pass Codex’s bypass-approvals-and-sandbox flag., dist/request-pump.js polls paired remote work and launches session-runner., dist/command-runner.js can remotely install registered AI harnesses and self-update. - **Evidence against:** package.json postinstall only invokes the scoped node-pty executable-bit repair., Pairing requires an explicit ainode launch and user-mediated code claim., Network RPC target is fixed in dist/config.js; no arbitrary endpoint or payload loader found., No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, eval/vm use, or install-time AI-config mutation found. ## Public findings ### 1.
