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. Static inspection found a conditional credential exposure: an existing xAI key is sent to an operator-configurable base URL without destination validation. The default is the intended xAI endpoint, so this supports a warning rather than a malicious block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T16:47:29.593Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T16:48:15.717Z - **Download time:** 1017 ms - **Static scan time:** 681 ms - **AI review time:** 44425 ms - **Total time:** 46124 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 inference client can forward an existing xAI API key to a caller-configured service endpoint. The code defaults to xAI but does not restrict XAI\_BASE\_URL to that service. - **Trigger:** The host daemon starts with an inference key available and makes an inference request. - **Impact:** A user who configures an unrelated endpoint may expose the API key to that endpoint; no hidden default redirection was found. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T16:48:15.717Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client selects XAI\_BASE\_URL when set and attaches the existing API key as a Bearer credential to requests at that base URL. - **Rationale:** Static inspection found a conditional credential exposure: an existing xAI key is sent to an operator-configurable base URL without destination validation. The default is the intended xAI endpoint, so this supports a warning rather than a malicious block. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.x.ai/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** dist/cli.js reads an existing XAI\_API\_KEY or ~/.agentvox/xai.key credential., dist/cli.js permits XAI\_BASE\_URL to override the default x.ai endpoint without a destination allowlist., dist/cli.js sends the stored API key as a Bearer credential to the configured base URL., dist/cli.js also reads Claude session-history paths as part of its session parsing feature., package.json postinstall only runs a helper that marks node-pty's spawn-helper executable. - **Evidence against:** The API client defaults to https://api.x.ai/v1, the intended xAI service endpoint., The postinstall helper only changes permissions on a node-pty helper when needed; it does not install another package or modify agent configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agentvox/host@0.1.34. - Review the evidence and your use of @agentvox/host@0.1.34 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.
