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 product-aligned postinstall permission fix and runtime requests to the AgentVox proxy and configured inference service. The scanner’s payload-execution hint corresponds to compressed database synchronization written to a local file, not code execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T19:15:27.428Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T19:20:56.489Z - **Download time:** 1286 ms - **Static scan time:** 786 ms - **AI review time:** 326989 ms - **Total time:** 329061 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 attack was identified in the inspected source. The postinstall helper adjusts permissions on a native terminal helper, and the runtime network paths inspected support the package’s host and inference functions. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall helper; starting the CLI or voice daemon activates their runtime network functions. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports terminal setup, host coordination, and inference. No independent credential theft or remote payload execution was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T19:20:56.489Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall helper checks node-pty helper files and adds executable permission when needed. Runtime code sends host metadata to the configured AgentVox proxy and sends inference requests with the API key to the configured inference endpoint; the default endpoint is xAI. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found a product-aligned postinstall permission fix and runtime requests to the AgentVox proxy and configured inference service. The scanner’s payload-execution hint corresponds to compressed database synchronization written to a local file, not code execution. - **Files touched:** scripts/fix-pty-helper.mjs - **Network endpoints:** proxy.agentvox.bot, api.x.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes CLI entrypoints and a postinstall helper; that helper fixes executable permissions on node-pty’s spawn helper., The inspected dependency hooks build or clean native terminal artifacts, and the WebSocket and QR code dependencies expose their expected library entrypoints., The compressed Vox payload is written as a local database snapshot, while host metadata is sent to the configured AgentVox proxy., The CLI sends its API key as a bearer credential to its configured inference endpoint, whose default is xAI. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agentvox/host@0.1.44. - Review the evidence and your use of @agentvox/host@0.1.44 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.
