It configures a relay endpoint and local encrypted credential/session files; no install-time attack was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T00:34:19.998Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T00:35:08.254Z - **Download time:** 1007 ms - **Static scan time:** 44 ms - **AI review time:** 47204 ms - **Total time:** 48256 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-invoked daemon loads opaque V8 bytecode with broad local-agent capabilities. It configures a relay endpoint and local encrypted credential/session files; no install-time attack was found. - **Trigger:** User runs vanexa-agent - **Impact:** A paired controller or supplied task could direct broad actions on the host within the agent's effective safeguards. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, socket.json, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T00:35:08.254Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Opaque remote-controlled AI daemon with shell, filesystem, browser, and network tools - **Rationale:** The package is not proven malicious, but its opaque payload and broad remotely directed host-control capability cannot be fully audited and create material user risk. Its scanner-suppression configuration and missing advertised readable fallback reinforce a warning rather than a clean verdict. - **Files touched:** bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, ~/.vanexa/config.json, ~/.vanexa/session.jwt, ~/.vanexa/.vault\_key - **Network endpoints:** https://vanexa-agent-relay.workers.dev, https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions, https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages, http://localhost:11434/api/chat ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** dist/bundle.jsc is an opaque 8 MB executable bytecode payload., bundle strings show relay URL, encrypted local credential storage, and remote terminal execution., Bundle exposes persistent shell, file write/delete, browser/clipboard, and process-control tools., socket.json disables malware, obfuscation, shell, filesystem, and network scanner findings. - **Evidence against:** package.json has only prepublishOnly; no install-time lifecycle hook., Launcher activates only when the user invokes vanexa-agent., No inspected source evidence of credential exfiltration, destructive execution, or foreign agent-config mutation., Bundle strings include command-risk and path/SSRF blocking controls. ## Public findings ### 1.
