Security reports
No reports found for this package in our research (last checked 2026-10-29).
Risks to watch for
- Phone system access: The agent can make and receive calls, so compromised credentials could enable unauthorized calls or eavesdropping
- Caller data exposure: Names, numbers, and call transcripts could leak if the agent stores or logs them insecurely
- Social engineering: Attackers could trick the AI into performing unintended actions through manipulated audio or voice spoofing
- Third-party service leaks: If it uses external APIs (phone providers, transcription services), misconfigured keys or integrations could expose data
- Unvetted code: As an open-source project with moderate popularity (1155 stars), security audits may be limited; always review code before use
How to lower the risk
Least-privilege permissions
- Only grant the agent permission to dial specific numbers or call types
- Restrict access to call logs and transcripts to authorized users only
Network isolation
- Run the agent on a dedicated machine or container separate from other services
- Limit outbound connections to only necessary phone providers and APIs
Monitoring
- Log all calls made and received with timestamps and participant details
- Set up alerts for unusual call patterns or failed authentication attempts
Red flags to watch for
- Unexpected outbound calls or connection attempts to unfamiliar numbers
- Missing or disabled call logging features
- Requests to grant broad permissions or expose API keys
