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. The postinstall script only marks node-pty spawn-helper executable. Remote commands, host metadata, and npm self-update are the documented AgentVox daemon after explicit pair or enroll, not a supply-chain implant. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T14:12:24.546Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T14:14:52.529Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 421 ms - **AI review time:** 147053 ms - **Total time:** 147983 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:** Install only chmod's the node-pty spawn-helper. Remote shell, host identity, and npm self-update run only after the user starts the AgentVox CLI and pairs or enrolls, which matches the documented host-control product. Scanner decode-and-execute and exfiltration labels are protocol JSON and pairing metadata, not a hidden payload. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the pty helper; remote control requires running agentvox-host or agentvox-vox. - **Impact:** No unconsented install-time attack is present; runtime machine control is the consented product. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T14:14:52.529Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked voice host daemon with documented pairing and self-update - **Rationale:** The postinstall script only marks node-pty spawn-helper executable. Remote commands, host metadata, and npm self-update are the documented AgentVox daemon after explicit pair or enroll, not a supply-chain implant. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** postinstall runs scripts/fix-pty-helper.mjs on install., The vox binary can run npm i -g @agentvox/host and re-exec agentvox-vox., After enroll, the daemon sends local user, hostname, and working directory to the paired proxy., Base64 protocol payloads are decoded and used for tools such as host.run., child\_process is used for npm self-update and for spawning the vox process. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only chmod +x on node-pty spawn-helper under node\_modules; it does not write agent configs or fetch payloads., There is no eval, Function, vm, or dynamic import of remote code; decode is JSON/base64 for the voice-host protocol., Network hosts are the product proxy, npm registry, and api.x.ai; README documents pairing and auto-update., Remote command execution and metadata require the user to run the CLI and pair or enroll., No package.json self-dependency, obfuscation, or reviewer-directed text. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agentvox/host@0.1.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @agentvox/host@0.1.8 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.
