The payload is executed by the local Node process. - **Trigger:** User runs \`agenticros connect\` after runtime dependencies are installed. - **Impact:** Remote code execution on the robot host; commands can access robot hardware, files, and credentials. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/commands/robot-hw.js, runtime/packages/agenticros-robot/comms.js, runtime/packages/agenticros-robot/README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T19:49:52.012Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote Socket.IO event to child\_process.exec - **Attack narrative:** \`agenticros connect\` launches the shipped comms bridge, which connects to the default cloud signaling endpoint using the robot token. Its \`bash-script\` event handler calls \`exec(data)\` directly. Any signaling-server-side sender able to emit that event can execute arbitrary shell commands on the connected robot; the client performs no allowlisting, signature verification, or command validation. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete remote command-execution channel in shipped runtime code, reachable through a documented CLI command. Absence of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate the resulting host compromise once connected. - **Files touched:** dist/commands/robot-hw.js, runtime/packages/agenticros-robot/comms.js - **Network endpoints:** wss://cloud.agenticros.com, https://cloud.agenticros.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** runtime/packages/agenticros-robot/comms.js registers a remote "bash-script" Socket.IO event., That handler passes received data directly to child\_process.exec with no validation., dist/commands/robot-hw.js starts comms.js for explicit \`agenticros connect\`., comms.js defaults to wss://cloud.agenticros.com and reconnects indefinitely. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hooks., The execution path is activated by an explicit connect command, not import or install. ## Public findings ### 1.
