The agent can also persist and dynamically load LLM-supplied JavaScript. - **Trigger:** User runs and pairs the daemon or invokes the CLI. - **Impact:** API-key disclosure to a third-party relay and remote code execution/persistence through agent-controlled tool creation. - **Evidence paths:** src/daemon.js, src/config.js, src/tools/toolForge.js, src/tools/registry.js, bin/vanexa-agent.js, src/providers/dashscope.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-29T20:35:46.285Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** plaintext credential relay and persistent dynamic code loading - **Attack narrative:** The daemon loads configuration, which decrypts the stored API key into memory, then serializes the full configuration to the vendor relay as a daemon-status message. Separately, LLM-directed tool forging writes arbitrary JavaScript to a persistent user-home directory and the registry imports those files with cache-busting on later loops. The published CLI additionally executes opaque V8 bytecode, preventing source verification of its active entrypoint. - **Rationale:** This is concrete credential disclosure to a package-controlled relay, not merely an advertised AI-agent capability. Persistent arbitrary code loading and an opaque executable bytecode payload amplify the impact. - **Files touched:** ~/.vanexa/config.json, ~/.vanexa/.vault\_key, ~/.vanexa/custom\_tools/{toolName}.js, dist/bundle.jsc - **Network endpoints:** wss://vanexa-agent-relay.hanazaki542.workers.dev/ws/daemon/{sessionId}, https://vanexa-ai-proxy.hanazaki542.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** src/daemon.js sends loadConfig() in daemon\_status to the package relay., src/config.js decrypts apiKey before daemon sends that config., Default relay is vanexa-agent-relay.hanazaki542.workers.dev., src/tools/toolForge.js persists LLM-supplied JavaScript under ~/.vanexa/custom\_tools., src/tools/registry.js dynamically imports persisted custom tools., bin/vanexa-agent.js executes opaque dist/bundle.jsc. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle hooks., CLI/daemon activation is user-invoked rather than install-time., Filesystem actions are presented as agent tools with an approval flow for some risks. ## Public findings ### 1.
