## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 19 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.1.38
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source inspection found a package-scoped PTY helper repair and runtime service behavior, but no concrete attack chain. The scanner’s remote decoded execution claim was not supported by the inspected Vox source.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-11T03:46:10.024Z

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 attack was identified in the inspected source. The package has runtime update and host metadata features consistent with its host service.

- **Trigger:** The PTY repair runs during installation; metadata and updater behavior run when the Vox service starts.

- **Impact:** These inspected behaviors do not establish malicious activity or credential theft.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T03:46:50.009Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The install script adjusts permissions on node-pty helper files. Runtime code checks the npm registry for a newer package version and reports host metadata through the configured service connection.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found a package-scoped PTY helper repair and runtime service behavior, but no concrete attack chain. The scanner’s remote decoded execution claim was not supported by the inspected Vox source.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/fix-pty-helper.mjs, dist/cli.js, dist/vox.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json limits postinstall to a PTY helper repair; prepublishOnly is a build and test command., The repair script targets node-pty prebuild helpers and makes a non-executable helper executable., The requested Claude integration location reads session history from the relevant Claude project directory., Inference requests send the API key to the configured base URL; the inspected default is xAI’s API endpoint., The updater checks the npm registry and installs a newer release of this package globally at runtime., Vox metadata includes the local username, hostname, and working directory for the host service.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @agentvox/host@0.1.38.

- Review the evidence and your use of @agentvox/host@0.1.38 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.
