LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Trusted malware advisory block - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 0.20.3 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-13615 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-13615 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package runs as a persistent daemon that opens a WebSocket to the hardcoded production endpoint wss://agenthub-agent.fyenet.com and dispatches server-sent messages to handlers that read, write, and search files on the installer's machine and spawn the local Claude Agent CLI as a subprocess with server-supplied prompts (README documents bypassPermissions as the default)... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T17:18:54.998Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T17:19:40.160Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 223 ms - **AI review time:** 44430 ms - **Total time:** 45162 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:** Running the CLI connects a paired machine to AgentHub and accepts remote file/session actions. It can read or overwrite caller-supplied paths and run Claude sessions with bypassed permissions; persistence requires an explicit install command or terminal confirmation. - **Trigger:** User runs agenthub after pairing; remote server sends supported actions; user runs or confirms install. - **Impact:** A compromised paired account/server could control the configured agent and access or modify local files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist-publish/main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T17:19:40.160Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** paired remote-control daemon with unrestricted file RPC and permission-bypassing agent sessions - **Rationale:** This is a documented but high-impact remote agent-control capability, not evidence of covert install-time malware. The lack of lifecycle execution and guarded persistence makes a block unwarranted. - **Files touched:** ~/.agenthub/agent-token-\.json, ~/.claude/projects, /etc/systemd/system/agenthub.service, /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.agenthub.agenthub.plist, %PROGRAMDATA%/AgentHub/daemon-env.json - **Network endpoints:** wss://agenthub-agent.fyenet.com, ws://localhost:8787/agent, ws://10.168.1.10:8787/agent, https://registry.npmjs.org/agenthub-ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** CLI opens persistent WebSocket to AgentHub server., Remote actions read/write arbitrary supplied paths., Sessions run Claude with bypassPermissions., Explicit install registers OS auto-start service., Remote agent.update invokes npm global install. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install/postinstall hook., Persistence is only via explicit install or interactive confirmation., No hidden payload, eval, or credential-harvesting flow found., Network endpoint and remote-control purpose are documented in README. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agenthub-ai@0.20.3. - Avoid installing agenthub-ai@0.20.3. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
