scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection shows a Node version check in the install hook and ordinary media handling in the flagged files. The scanner labels did not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The preinstall hook runs during installation; media helpers run when callers request media processing.
Impact
No confirmed attack surface was established.
Mechanism
The hook checks the Node version. The flagged source handles media downloads and video thumbnail generation; no malicious behavior was established from the inspected code.

- engine-requirements.js checks the Node major version and exits when it is below 20.
- The flagged messages.js code handles media reupload after specific HTTP errors.
- Video thumbnail generation uses a generated temporary filename and invokes ffmpeg for media processing.
