@agentvox/host@0.1.19
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 concrete remote command-execution capability and automatic update behavior, so it warrants a warning as dangerous dual-use software. Its install hook appears limited to fixing a dependency helper's mode, and no direct malicious behavior was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A connected, paired daemon receives a host.run envelope addressed to its device ID.
Impact
A party able to send accepted proxy messages could execute commands on the host. No confirmed malicious delivery path was established.
Mechanism
The handler parses the payload and passes command, arguments, working directory, and timeout to its command runner.
AI rationale
The package contains a concrete remote command-execution capability and automatic update behavior, so it warrants a warning as dangerous dual-use software. Its install hook appears limited to fixing a dependency helper's mode, and no direct malicious behavior was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 85.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The install hook targets the node-pty helper rather than agent configuration.
- The daemon authenticates its proxy connection with the saved device token.
- A received host.run request passes a supplied command to the command runner.
- The vox executable checks for and applies package updates unless disabled.
Evidence against
- No evidence showed secret harvesting, hidden exfiltration, or destructive install-time behavior.
- The command capability is part of a paired remote-host daemon, but inbound message authorization is delegated to the proxy.

Remote Asset Decode Execute
Source fetches a remote non-code asset, decodes its contents, and dynamically executes the decoded payload.
