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:** 2026-08-08T22:29:31.167Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T22:30:12.919Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 39 ms - **AI review time:** 41206 ms - **Total time:** 41752 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicitly invoked CLI is intended to load opaque bytecode that operates a remote-controlled AI daemon with shell capability and auto-update behavior. No install-time execution is declared, and the extracted launcher is currently broken by a missing import. - **Trigger:** User runs vanexa-agent after installation. - **Impact:** If made runnable, remote tasks could execute commands and modify user files; the hidden payload prevents complete source verification. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, socket.json, socket.yml - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T22:30:12.919Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Opaque bytecode-backed remote AI daemon with shell, relay, and update capabilities. - **Rationale:** This is an opaque, high-capability payload with real remote-control primitives, but source evidence does not prove malicious behavior. Warn rather than block because no install hook or concrete malicious chain was found. - **Files touched:** bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, dist/.v8-version, src/utils/cli\_ui.js - **Network endpoints:** https://vanexa-agent-relay.workers.dev ### 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 loaded by the CLI., Bytecode strings expose a relay at https://vanexa-agent-relay.workers.dev and daemon WebSocket/P2P handling., Bytecode includes persistent shell execution and an active 24/7 auto-update engine., socket.json suppresses scanner rules for obfuscation, shell, filesystem, network, and AI-malware findings. - **Evidence against:** package.json has only prepublishOnly; installation has no lifecycle hook., No plaintext source shows credential harvesting, exfiltration, or destructive install-time action., bin/vanexa-agent.js imports absent src/utils/cli\_ui.js before loading bytecode, so this extracted artifact cannot launch as packaged. ## Public findings ### 1.
