Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 85.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T20:34:36.462Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T20:38:01.150Z - **Download time:** 779 ms - **Static scan time:** 412 ms - **AI review time:** 203496 ms - **Total time:** 204688 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The running host daemon accepts proxy-delivered host.run messages and executes their command fields. This is a remote command capability protected by a proxy token, but the package does not independently validate the message sender. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/vox.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T20:38:01.150Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The handler parses the payload and passes command, arguments, working directory, and timeout to its command runner. - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, dist/vox.js, package.json, scripts/fix-pty-helper.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://proxy.agentvox.bot ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agentvox/host@0.1.19. - Review the evidence and your use of @agentvox/host@0.1.19 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
