Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Install behavior is limited to making the node-pty helper executable, and agent-session reads plus xAI calls happen only when the user runs the daemon. Those primitives match the package's voice-control purpose and do not form a hidden install or exfiltration chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T21:02:20.090Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T21:03:21.212Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 474 ms - **AI review time:** 59628 ms - **Total time:** 61122 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:** No install-time or hidden attack surface was identified. Risky process launch, session-log reads, and network calls occur only after the user starts the host or vox command and stay aligned with AgentVox pairing and xAI voice. - **Trigger:** User invocation of agentvox-host or agentvox-vox, not npm install. - **Impact:** No unconsented mutation of a foreign agent control surface, credential theft, or remote payload execution was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T21:03:21.212Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall only marks node-pty spawn-helper executable. Runtime code reads local agent session logs, launches configured CLIs, and talks to the configured AgentVox proxy and api.x.ai. - **Rationale:** Install behavior is limited to making the node-pty helper executable, and agent-session reads plus xAI calls happen only when the user runs the daemon. Those primitives match the package's voice-control purpose and do not form a hidden install or exfiltration chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The only npm lifecycle hook is postinstall, which runs scripts/fix-pty-helper.mjs to chmod node-pty spawn-helper inside node\_modules., dist/cli.js reads ~/.claude/projects and ~/.codex/sessions only after the user starts the host, to resume a working directory; it does not write Claude or Codex config during install., The voice client sends the caller-supplied XAI\_API\_KEY or ~/.agentvox/xai.key to https://api.x.ai for minting and chat, which is the key's intended service., Optional self-update runs only inside the started daemon, installs @agentvox/host from registry.npmjs.org, and can be turned off with AGENTVOX\_AUTO\_UPDATE=0. - **Evidence against:** The running daemon can launch claude with bypassPermissions and codex with sandbox bypass, and it relays session snippets to the paired AgentVox proxy. Those actions are the documented hands-free product and are not install hooks., XAI\_BASE\_URL can point the same caller-supplied key at another OpenAI-compatible base URL; that is an explicit operator override of a configurable client. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agentvox/host@0.1.20. - Review the evidence and your use of @agentvox/host@0.1.20 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.
