No install-time attack surface was confirmed. Explicit setup commands can register a first-party robotics MCP/plugin and enable authenticated robot-control capabilities. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T00:51:38.544Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T00:52:35.323Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 2605 ms - **AI review time:** 53656 ms - **Total time:** 56779 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No install-time attack surface was confirmed. Explicit setup commands can register a first-party robotics MCP/plugin and enable authenticated robot-control capabilities. - **Trigger:** User runs \`agenticros init\` and confirms plugin setup, or explicitly runs MCP/cloud commands. - **Impact:** Configured agents may gain AgenticROS tools; authenticated commands can affect the user's registered robot. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/commands/init.js, dist/util/mcp-setup.js, dist/util/openclaw-config.js, dist/util/robot-cloud-config.js, runtime/packages/robot-eyes/src/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T00:52:35.323Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** First-party AI-agent extension registration and authenticated robotics control. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by the inspected source: risky actions are package-aligned and user-invoked. It warrants a warning because it deliberately configures AI-agent control surfaces and can control registered robotics hardware. - **Files touched:** ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.hermes/config.yaml, .codex/config.toml, .mcp.json, ~/.agenticros/plugin-deploy - **Network endpoints:** https://cloud.agenticros.com, wss://cloud.agenticros.com, http://127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** \`agenticros init\` can install the package's OpenClaw plugin after an interactive confirmation., MCP setup writes AgenticROS server entries to Codex, Hermes, and Claude configuration files., The CLI stores an AgenticROS Cloud token and can invoke authenticated robot-control APIs. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Agent configuration and plugin installation occur only through explicit CLI setup flows; init prompts before plugin installation., Observed cloud traffic targets the declared AgenticROS Cloud service; no credential harvesting or unrelated exfiltration was found., The flagged robot-eyes server binds to 127.0.0.1 and its teleoperation behavior is package-aligned. ## Public findings ### 1.
