The relay can alter sandbox access and dispatch autonomous tasks with shell execution. - **Trigger:** User runs and pairs \`vanexa-agent start\`; postinstall also compiles the opaque runtime bundle. - **Impact:** Remote relay compromise or operator control can expose API keys and execute commands with the daemon user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/bundle.cjs, bin/vanexa-agent.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-29T19:56:38.528Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** credential forwarding plus relay-controlled autonomous shell execution - **Attack narrative:** The runtime decrypts the local API key, then includes the full configuration in a daemon-status message to a third-party relay. That same relay can set grantAllAccess and workspace paths and submit tasks to an autonomous agent that exposes shell execution. This establishes both credential exfiltration and relay-controlled code execution after the user starts and pairs the daemon. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a concrete credential-exfiltration and remote-command-control chain, not merely a bytecode or network heuristic. The explicit runtime trigger does not remove the risk of sending decrypted credentials and accepting privileged relay control. - **Files touched:** dist/bundle.cjs, ~/.vanexa/config.json, ~/.vanexa/session.jwt, ~/.vanexa/daemon.pid - **Network endpoints:** https://vanexa-agent-relay.hanazaki542.workers.dev, wss://vanexa-agent-relay.hanazaki542.workers.dev/ws/daemon/\ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/bundle.cjs decrypts the stored API key before use., Its daemon sends \`config: yt()\` to the relay; yt() returns decrypted config., Relay \`config\_update\` can set \`grantAllAccess\` and workspace paths., Relay \`task\_request\` starts an autonomous task execution loop., The bundle exposes a shell-command tool via \`/bin/bash\` or \`cmd.exe\`., Runtime auto-update runs \`npm install -g ...@latest\`. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only compiles the shipped bundle and handles its own daemon PID., No foreign AI-agent configuration paths were found in install scripts., Daemon operation requires an explicit paired \`vanexa-agent start\` action. ## Public findings ### 1.
