This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T06:28:57.151Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T06:29:54.019Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 45 ms - **AI review time:** 56058 ms - **Total time:** 56868 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-invoked CLI loads an opaque bytecode agent with broad terminal, filesystem, browser, and network capabilities. No install-time execution or confirmed unconsented attack chain was found. - **Trigger:** User runs vanexa-agent or its installed CLI command. - **Impact:** A paired user session could authorize broad local actions and outbound requests. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, socket.json, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T06:29:54.019Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Opaque V8 bytecode executes a remote-controlled autonomous-agent runtime. - **Rationale:** The package is not proven malicious, but its sole substantive implementation is opaque bytecode containing powerful local-agent primitives. A warning is warranted because those capabilities cannot be fully source-audited. - **Files touched:** bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, dist/.v8-version - **Network endpoints:** https://vanexa-agent-relay.workers.dev, https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions, https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/bundle.jsc is a 5.3 MB opaque V8 bytecode payload executed by the CLI., Bytecode strings show shell execution, local file deletion, browser automation, and network fetch capabilities., Bytecode includes a relay endpoint: https://vanexa-agent-relay.workers.dev., socket.json suppresses malware, obfuscation, shell, filesystem, and network scanner findings. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., bin/vanexa-agent.js runs only when the CLI is invoked., No concrete credential-exfiltration or stealth persistence chain was established from inspectable source., The exposed behavior is described as a user-invoked autonomous-agent daemon. ## Public findings ### 1.
