Description

The conductor daemon command (bin/conductor-daemon.js -> src/daemon.js) opens a WebSocket to https://conductor.conductor-ai.top (or a user-configured backend_url) and registers a message handler that, in handleTerminalInput, writes payload.data received from the server directly into a node-pty process. The PTY is spawned by handleCreatePtyTask running either the user's default shell (/bin/bash, /bin/zsh, cmd.exe, $SHELL) or a CLI from DEFAULT_CLI_LIST, which launches codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox and claude --dangerously-skip-permissions — the same flags are written into the generated config.yaml by bin/conductor-config.js. Any party controlling the WebSocket peer (the Conductor backend, an impersonator on the network, or a compromised backend account) can drive arbitrary commands into the installer's shell or into an AI CLI whose local approval/sandbox gates have been disabled by default. The remote-command channel and the disabled-safety flags together provide full-host command execution driven by conductor-ai.top.
