@agentvox/host@0.1.18
AgentVox host daemon — runs on machines you want to control hands-free via the AgentVox voice app.
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package contains a real remote command and agent-session access capability, so it warrants a warning as dangerous functionality. Static inspection does not show a concrete malicious install-time action, credential theft, or unauthorized command sender.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A configured host daemon connects to its proxy and receives an envelope addressed to its device ID.
Impact
A party able to issue accepted proxy messages could run commands or obtain recent agent activity on the enrolled machine.
Mechanism
The daemon dispatches remote requests, launches the requested command, and can read local agent-session data for activity replies.
AI rationale
The package contains a real remote command and agent-session access capability, so it warrants a warning as dangerous functionality. Static inspection does not show a concrete malicious install-time action, credential theft, or unauthorized command sender.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The running host accepts proxy envelopes addressed to its configured device and dispatches them.
- A host.run envelope supplies a command, arguments, working directory, and timeout to a process-launching helper.
- The host reads Codex session records and returns recent user text as agent activity.
- Both daemons enable a periodic self-update path that globally installs a selected package version.
Evidence against
- The install hook only repairs execute permissions on the node-pty helper.
- The proxy WebSocket uses the configured bearer token; the inspected code does not prove that an unpaired party can send commands.
