Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package is not proven to perform a concrete malicious action, but its opaque executable payload, dangerous capabilities, and reviewer manipulation prevent a clean verdict. The absence of install hooks keeps this below the publish-block threshold. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T02:40:43.705Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T02:42:20.996Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 42 ms - **AI review time:** 96473 ms - **Total time:** 97291 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Importing the main entry point or invoking the CLI executes an opaque bytecode bundle. That bundle exposes shell and network capability, but its source-level restrictions cannot be verified. - **Trigger:** Import the package main entry point or run the vanexa CLI. - **Impact:** The bundle can perform actions beyond what the visible launcher can be audited to constrain. - **Evidence paths:** bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, socket.json, socket.yml - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T02:42:20.996Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Opaque bytecode execution with command and network capability. - **Rationale:** The package is not proven to perform a concrete malicious action, but its opaque executable payload, dangerous capabilities, and reviewer manipulation prevent a clean verdict. The absence of install hooks keeps this below the publish-block threshold. - **Files touched:** bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc - **Network endpoints:** https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Its Socket configuration suppresses findings for shell, filesystem, network, and obfuscated code., The shipped configuration discusses malware detectors and a clean verdict, which is reviewer-directed manipulation., The launcher immediately executes an opaque V8 bytecode bundle while source and the claimed CJS fallback are absent., The opaque bundle contains shell-command functionality and hard-coded external API endpoints. - **Evidence against:** There is no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The manifest has no dependency on this package itself., The visible launcher’s bytecode rewrite path requires an unshipped bundle.cjs fallback. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vanexalabs-ai/vanexa-agent@1.9.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @vanexalabs-ai/vanexa-agent@1.9.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
