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:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T14:06:03.570Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T14:06:53.091Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 196 ms - **AI review time:** 49065 ms - **Total time:** 49521 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-invoked CLI connects to AgentHub's WebSocket service and executes authenticated remote-control operations. It can read/write supplied file paths, run Claude sessions, self-update, and optionally install an OS auto-start service. - **Trigger:** Running \`agenthub\`; remote actions arrive after pairing. - **Impact:** A compromised or malicious paired server/account could control Claude sessions and access files available to the agent process. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist-publish/main.js, README\_EN.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T14:06:53.091Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** paired WebSocket remote-control agent with privileged local operations - **Rationale:** The shipped code implements broad, server-mediated local control and persistence, creating a meaningful dangerous capability. Its activation and persistence are user-command-gated and package-aligned, so the source does not establish malicious intent. - **Files touched:** ~/.agenthub/agent-token-\.json, ~/.agenthub/server-config.json, /etc/agenthub/daemon-env.json, %PROGRAMDATA%\\AgentHub\\daemon-env.json, caller-supplied file paths - **Network endpoints:** wss://agenthub-agent.fyenet.com, 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:** dist-publish/main.js accepts server FileRead/FileWrite requests for caller-supplied paths., Server AgentUpdate request spawns detached self-update that runs npm install -g., Explicit install creates Windows Run, systemd, or launchd persistence., Claude sessions are started with bypassPermissions and server-supplied prompts. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is publish-time only., Persistence is gated behind explicit \`agenthub install\` and elevation on Linux/macOS., WebSocket endpoint and remote-control purpose are disclosed in README\_EN.md., No hidden credential harvesting, unrelated exfiltration, or remote code payload fetch was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
