The install hook itself only compiles local bytecode. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T00:33:23.165Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T00:35:08.254Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 1247 ms - **AI review time:** 103332 ms - **Total time:** 105089 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** After explicit pairing and daemon start, the package connects to its relay and can drive an LLM agent with shell and broad local-file capabilities. The install hook itself only compiles local bytecode. - **Trigger:** User runs vanexa-agent pair/start or otherwise starts the CLI daemon. - **Impact:** A paired relay/task source can cause broad user-home workspace actions through the agent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.cjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T00:35:08.254Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote relay task dispatch to an autonomous local tool registry, including terminal execution. - **Rationale:** This is a dangerous remote-agent capability with broad local execution potential, but the observed install hook is limited to local bytecode compilation and activation requires explicit user CLI setup. - **Files touched:** bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.cjs, dist/bundle.jsc, dist/.v8-version, scripts/postinstall.js - **Network endpoints:** https://vanexa-agent-relay.hanazaki542.workers.dev, https://vanexa-agent-relay.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/bundle.cjs exposes remote-task-driven shell execution and file/desktop/browser tools., Bundle defaults allowed workspace paths to the user home and connects to vanexa-agent-relay.hanazaki542.workers.dev., package.json postinstall runs scripts/postinstall.js, which compiles the full bundled source into local bytecode., bin/vanexa-agent.js loads the compiled bundle when the user runs the CLI. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only invokes bytenode compilation and writes dist/bundle.jsc plus dist/.v8-version; no network or shell execution is shown., Remote task handling is reached after explicit CLI pairing/start, consistent with the documented agent function., No decoded remote payload execution or install-time credential harvesting was corroborated in source. ## Public findings ### 1.
