Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.1.31 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 source confirms conditional forwarding of a locally sourced xAI key to an unrestricted configured endpoint. This supports a warning for credential exposure, not a claim of deliberate theft or a block-level attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T15:53:07.173Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T15:53:54.154Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 686 ms - **AI review time:** 45276 ms - **Total time:** 46981 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 host CLI can forward an existing xAI API key to a caller-configured inference endpoint. - **Trigger:** The CLI loads a key and performs an inference request while XAI\_BASE\_URL points to a destination outside the intended xAI service. - **Impact:** A misconfigured or untrusted endpoint can receive the xAI key and use it outside this package. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T15:53:54.154Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The configurable base URL is used directly for requests that include the key in an Authorization bearer header, with no destination restriction shown. - **Rationale:** The source confirms conditional forwarding of a locally sourced xAI key to an unrestricted configured endpoint. This supports a warning for credential exposure, not a claim of deliberate theft or a block-level attack. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.x.ai/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The host CLI reads an existing xAI key from XAI\_API\_KEY or ~/.agentvox/xai.key and uses it when creating the inference client., The inference client allows XAI\_BASE\_URL to override its default destination and sends the key as a bearer token to that destination., The request occurs when the CLI performs inference; the source does not show destination validation or a gate restricting the key to xAI. - **Evidence against:** The default inference endpoint is xAI’s API, and the key is used for inference requests., Vox enrollment sends a token only to the explicitly supplied proxy URL as part of the enrollment command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agentvox/host@0.1.31. - Review the evidence and your use of @agentvox/host@0.1.31 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.
