No install-time attack behavior is present. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T00:27:18.670Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T00:29:04.127Z - **Download time:** 771 ms - **Static scan time:** 48 ms - **AI review time:** 104637 ms - **Total time:** 105457 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit CLI execution loads an opaque V8 payload with powerful agent capabilities. No install-time attack behavior is present. - **Trigger:** User runs or imports the CLI - **Impact:** The payload could act on local data and execute commands, but its source is not auditable. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T00:29:04.127Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Opaque bytecode agent with shell, filesystem, and network functions - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious chain or install-time mutation was confirmed. The opaque executable payload nonetheless carries substantial unreviewable agent capability and warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, dist/.v8-version - **Network endpoints:** https://vanexa-agent-relay.workers.dev, http://127.0.0.1:9222/json/version, http://127.0.0.1:9333/version, https://api.openai.com/v1/images/generations ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Launcher executes opaque 3.8 MB V8 bytecode., Bytecode strings expose relay, shell, file, and dynamic-tool capabilities., Opaque payload prevents source-level verification of safeguards or data handling. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook exists., Execution requires an explicit CLI/import invocation., No confirmed credential exfiltration or foreign agent-control write was found in readable source. ## Public findings ### 1. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs. ### 2. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 3. Medium: Dynamic Require - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** bin/vanexa-agent.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references dynamic require/import behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L13: L14: const require = createRequire(import.meta.url); L15: const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url); ``` ### 4. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 5. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 6. High: Ships Node Bytecode - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Path:** dist/bundle.jsc - **Public source:** [View source]() Package ships compiled Node/V8 bytecode artifacts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text path = dist/bundle.jsc kind = node_bytecode sizeBytes = 3838928 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 7. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Path:** bin/vanexa-agent.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Launcher executes opaque 3.8 MB V8 bytecode. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript function loadAgentBrain() { try { // Execute the protected proprietary brain require(bytecodePath); ``` ### 8. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Launcher executes opaque 3.8 MB V8 bytecode. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "files": [ "bin/", "dist/bundle.jsc", "dist/.v8-version", "socket.json", "socket.yml", "README.md", "LICENSE" ``` ### 9. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Path:** README.md - **Public source:** [View source]() Opaque payload prevents source-level verification of safeguards or data handling. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```markdown - **4-Layer Sandbox**: Tool availability checks → Path scoping → Command risk classification → SSRF protection - **3 Autonomy Modes**: Passive (ask everything) → Supervised (auto-safe, ask-dangerous) → Autonomous (full auto) - **Self-Preservation**: The agent cannot read, modify, or delete its own source code - **Workspace Scoping**: The phone app controls exactly which directories the agent can access - **Proprietary Source**: Distributed as compiled V8 Bytecode (`.jsc`), not readable JavaScript ``` ### 10. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Path:** README.md - **Public source:** [View source]() Bytecode strings expose relay, shell, file, and dynamic-tool capabilities.
