A connected Tahcia session can also issue local shell and Mac automation commands. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T20:44:12.568Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T20:45:18.728Z - **Download time:** 1938 ms - **Static scan time:** 5515 ms - **AI review time:** 58685 ms - **Total time:** 66160 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicitly invoked Antigravity worker exposes unauthenticated network prompt handling and defaults its agent policy to allow all. A connected Tahcia session can also issue local shell and Mac automation commands. - **Trigger:** User runs \`tahcia run antigravity\` or connects the CLI to a Tahcia session. - **Impact:** Network-reachable callers or the remote service can cause agent actions in configured workspaces; session commands can execute local shell commands and return output. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, tahcia, tahcia.js, tahcia-antigravity.py, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T20:45:18.728Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote prompt-to-agent execution and WebSocket-controlled local shell/UI automation. - **Rationale:** Source confirms a dangerous, user-invoked remote execution/agent-control capability with an unauthenticated listener, but no install-time execution or concealed credential-exfiltration chain. Warn rather than block under the stated dangerous-capability boundary. - **Files touched:** tahcia.js, tahcia-antigravity.py, tahcia-mac, .env, ~/.tahcia/config - **Network endpoints:** https://api.tahcia.com, https://www.tahcia.com/console ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Explicit \`tahcia run antigravity\` launches an AI worker with \`policy.allow\_all()\`., Worker binds unauthenticated HTTP handling to \`0.0.0.0\` and forwards received prompts to the agent., WebSocket \`system.shell\` executes server-supplied text via \`execSync\` and returns output., Mac commands can execute shell, capture screenshots/OCR, and return results over the session. - **Evidence against:** No npm lifecycle scripts; package is inert until imported or explicitly invoked., Network traffic is limited to package-aligned \`api.tahcia.com\`/Tahcia console with the supplied API key., No host fingerprint collection, broad credential harvesting, or hidden payload download found., OpenClaw JSON files are written only under the explicit \`openclaw-plugin-json\` command. ## Public findings ### 1.
