@agentvox/hostnpm
Malicious code in @agentvox/host (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
The host daemon opens an outbound WebSocket connection to a hardcoded default proxy (https://proxy.agentvox.bot) and, on receipt of a session.open envelope, decodes the payload and invokes pty.spawn(open.command, open.args, { cwd: open.cwd, env: {...process.env,...open.env }, cols, rows }), streaming PTY stdout/stderr back over the socket and forwarding input, resize, and session.close events to the pty. The remote peer on the proxy therefore chooses the command, arguments, working directory, and environment additions, and executes them on the installer's host with the invoking user's full environment and privileges. scripts/smoke.mjs additionally uses Buffer.from(..., "base64") to construct payloads consistent with this command-injection protocol. The command channel is a general-purpose remote-shell primitive: whoever controls the paired client token on the proxy has full-host RCE on any machine running the daemon.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @agentvox/host (version 0.1.5). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @agentvox/host across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@agentvox/host is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If @agentvox/host was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @agentvox/host before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks @agentvox/host-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
