The executable also runs an opaque V8 bytecode artifact, preventing full source verification. - **Trigger:** User runs vanexa-agent pair/start, CLI chat/run/exec, or launches the package bin. - **Impact:** A compromised relay, paired session, or unsafe model output could operate on user-home files and execute commands. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vanexa-agent.js, src/agentLoop.js, src/daemon.js, src/sandbox.js, src/config.js, src/tools/terminalExec.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T00:35:08.254Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote AI-agent task relay with broad local command/file tools and opaque bytecode execution. - **Rationale:** No concrete malware chain or install-time mutation was found, but this is a high-risk remote AI-agent capability with broad local access and an executed opaque artifact. - **Files touched:** bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.jsc, src/agentLoop.js, src/daemon.js, src/sandbox.js, src/config.js, src/tools/terminalExec.js - **Network endpoints:** https://vanexa-agent-relay.hanazaki542.workers.dev, https://vanexa-ai-proxy.hanazaki542.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** bin/vanexa-agent.js executes opaque dist/bundle.jsc on every CLI launch., src/daemon.js accepts relay-delivered tasks; src/agentLoop.js exposes shell and filesystem tools to the model., src/sandbox.js defaults allowed workspaces to the user's home directory and Mode C permits dangerous operations without approval., src/config.js uses the package relay endpoint; daemon config updates can alter workspace access. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., CLI pairing/start and task execution are explicit user actions., No source evidence of credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, foreign AI-agent config writes, or destructive install-time behavior. ## Public findings ### 1.
