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:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-19T11:18:03.152Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-19T11:19:26.202Z - **Download time:** 1014 ms - **Static scan time:** 6387 ms - **AI review time:** 75647 ms - **Total time:** 83050 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-invoked CLI creates a remote-control daemon for coding-agent workflows and connects it to its configured AgentLink Hub. It has an intentional remote command/control capability, but no install-time execution or unconsented foreign agent-config mutation is present. - **Trigger:** Running alink-cli, its TUI start action, or alink-cli --no-tui. - **Impact:** An authorized Hub session can control the intentionally exposed local agent service; telemetry derives a hash from a Codex or Claude account identifier. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/agentlink.js, dist/bin.mjs, dist/ui.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T11:19:26.202Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** authenticated encrypted Hub tunnel exposing daemon RPC capabilities - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious chain was found: there are no install hooks, remote payload execution, or broad foreign AI-agent control-surface writes. The package nevertheless provides a high-impact remote agent-control capability and reads third-party account identifiers for telemetry. - **Files touched:** bin/agentlink.js, dist/bin.mjs, ~/.agentlink/credential, ~/.agentlink/session, ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.claude.json - **Network endpoints:** wss://link.harmopath.com, wss://link.harmopath.com/daemon-tunnel ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Explicit CLI execution starts a bundled daemon for a user-selected workspace with Hub credentials., The daemon opens an encrypted, authenticated WebSocket tunnel to the configured Hub and exposes operating RPC scopes., It reads Codex and Claude account-ID fields, then hashes the selected identifier for telemetry. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The child process is launched only from CLI/TUI runtime paths, not package installation., Credential and session files are package-owned ~/.agentlink state and written with mode 0600., No remote asset decoding or dynamic code execution was found in dist/ui.js; its fetch hits are bundled runtime dependencies. ## Public findings ### 1.
