@agentvox/host@0.1.40
AgentVox host daemon — runs on machines you want to control hands-free via the AgentVox voice app.
AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged install hook performs a narrow permission repair, and the inspected pairing, metadata, and update behavior aligns with the package's host-control function. The suspicious decode-and-execute hint corresponds to compressed board database replication, not code execution.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The postinstall helper runs during installation; network and update behavior runs when the host or Vox daemon is used.
Impact
No malicious impact was identified; pairing and daemon metadata support the package's host-control features.
Mechanism
The hook repairs a dependency helper's file permission, pairing uses the AgentVox service, and the updater retrieves this package from npm.
AI rationale
The flagged install hook performs a narrow permission repair, and the inspected pairing, metadata, and update behavior aligns with the package's host-control function. The suspicious decode-and-execute hint corresponds to compressed board database replication, not code execution.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json runs a postinstall helper that only adds execute permission to an installed node-pty spawn helper when needed.
- The indicated dist/cli.js location reads local Claude session history paths for parsing; it does not alter agent configuration.
- Host pairing sends a label to the configured proxy and displays a QR code for approval in the AgentVox phone app.
- The Vox daemon requires enrollment with an explicit proxy and existing device token; after connecting, it sends user, host, and working-directory metadata to that configured proxy.
- The compressed peer payload is written as a board database snapshot; the inspected code does not execute it.
- The Vox updater checks npm for this package's newer version and installs that package globally; the updater can be disabled with AGENTVOX_AUTO_UPDATE=0.

Remote Asset Decode Execute
Source fetches a remote non-code asset, decodes its contents, and dynamically executes the decoded payload.
