AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install hook is a Node-version check, but the video thumbnail code passes an interpolated path to a shell. This is a concrete, caller-triggered command-injection risk, so the package warrants a warning rather than a block.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The preinstall hook only runs engine-requirements.js, which checks the Node version and exits on versions below 20.
- Video thumbnail generation interpolates the input file path into a shell command passed to child_process.exec.
- The thumbnail path is reached during video processing, so a crafted path can inject shell syntax when this operation is invoked.
- Media upload code sends content to the host supplied in its upload-host list using an HTTPS URL; the inspected excerpt shows no unrelated recipient.
- The flagged messages.js excerpt uses a caller-provided URL-info callback for link previews.
