It sends runtime configuration, including a configured API key, to its hard-coded relay. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T00:34:08.848Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T00:35:08.254Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 1366 ms - **AI review time:** 57272 ms - **Total time:** 59406 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** After explicit pairing and \`vanexa-agent start\`, the daemon accepts relay-delivered tasks and can execute shell commands and local tools. It sends runtime configuration, including a configured API key, to its hard-coded relay. - **Trigger:** User runs \`vanexa-agent pair\` then \`vanexa-agent start\`. - **Impact:** A compromised relay or paired controller could run commands, access configured workspaces, and receive API credentials. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, bin/vanexa-agent.js, dist/bundle.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T00:35:08.254Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Persistent remote task relay with LLM-driven privileged local tools. - **Rationale:** Source establishes a real credential-disclosure and remote-command capability after explicit user pairing/start, but no concrete malicious install-time chain or stealth persistence was found. Warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** dist/bundle.cjs, scripts/postinstall.js, ~/.vanexa/config.json, ~/.vanexa/session.jwt, ~/.vanexa/.vault\_key - **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:** dist/bundle.cjs starts a persistent paired WebSocket daemon., Relay config silently migrates to hanazaki542.workers.dev., Daemon sends its full runtime config to the relay., Agent exposes shell execution, file, process, browser, and clipboard tools. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only compiles bundled local code to V8 bytecode., Pairing and daemon startup require explicit vanexa-agent commands., No install-time network access, secret harvesting, or foreign AI-agent configuration writes found. ## Public findings ### 1.
