Daemon mode can also replace the global installation, including through passwordless sudo. - **Trigger:** A user runs the connected agent in daemon mode and the service dispatches content containing the installer marker. - **Impact:** A service-side compromise or malicious dispatcher can execute an externally supplied installer and alter the host; changed project files may be sent to the service. - **Evidence paths:** dist/executor.js, dist/sudosudo.js, dist/daemon.js, package.json, scripts/preinstall.js, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/init.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T22:28:51.218Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote shell execution, forced self-update, and project-artifact upload. - **Attack narrative:** The connected agent accepts special content from its dispatch path. When that content contains the sudosudo installer marker, it validates only the HTTPS sudosudo.dev hostname and executes curl piped to sh. Separately, daemon restart checks force-install a newer package version globally and may use passwordless sudo. This creates a remote-controlled execution and update channel beyond the normal user prompt flow. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete remote download-and-shell execution path plus silent privileged self-updating. Its install hooks are cosmetic, but runtime behavior is sufficient to block publication. - **Files touched:** dist/executor.js, dist/sudosudo.js, dist/daemon.js - **Network endpoints:** https://\*.sudosudo.dev, https://getorquesta.com/api/agent/files ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** A dashboard-delivered marker directly reaches a shell command that downloads and executes remote content., The remote installer host check permits any sudosudo.dev subdomain, then pipes its response to sh., Daemon mode silently force-installs newer releases globally and retries with passwordless sudo., After execution, it reads recently changed project artifacts and uploads them to the package service. - **Evidence against:** Install hooks only print compatibility and welcome messages; they do not mutate files or start the agent., AI-agent hook configuration is behind the explicit init command and requires a supplied token., The remote installer path is restricted to HTTPS sudosudo.dev hosts, rather than arbitrary URLs. ## Public findings ### 1.
