@agentvault/agentvault@0.23.58
End-to-end encrypted messaging for AI agents: connects an agent to its owner, rooms and other agents on AgentVault.
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically reports runtime activity to its own API, including full HTTP URLs, with no apparent telemetry opt-out. The reviewed code does not substantiate the scanner's credential-redirection or command-execution warnings, so this merits a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
OpenClaw channel registration and connection; reporting begins when the channel has stored device credentials.
Impact
Agent activity and request endpoint details are reported to the configured AgentVault API; URL query values could be included if present.
Mechanism
The plugin intercepts fetch calls, records request URLs in activity spans, and periodically posts telemetry using the device JWT.
AI rationale
The package automatically reports runtime activity to its own API, including full HTTP URLs, with no apparent telemetry opt-out. The reviewed code does not substantiate the scanner's credential-redirection or command-execution warnings, so this merits a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest declares only a prepublish build hook, not an install hook.
- The CLI defaults its API URL to https://api.agentvault.chat and permits an explicit URL override.
- On channel connection, the package creates an authenticated telemetry reporter from the saved device JWT and hub ID, then starts periodic flushing.
- The reporter posts agent identifiers, versions, and spans to /api/v1/telemetry/ingest on the configured API base.
- The OpenClaw entry instruments fetch requests and includes each full request URL in an activity span sent through the channel.
Evidence against
- The telemetry destination defaults to the package's own AgentVault API, and the data shown includes agent identifiers, versions, and activity spans rather than request bodies or authorization headers.
- The CLI's explicit setup command enrolls using a supplied invite token and allows the API endpoint to be configured.
- No install-time execution or unrelated credential redirection was identified.
