AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe preinstall hook is a benign Node version check, but the media helper exposes a shell command construction risk through interpolated paths. The available caller excerpt does not show that an attacker can control those paths, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The video thumbnail helper builds a shell command by interpolating its path and output arguments, then calls exec.
- The thumbnail caller supplies a file path to that helper; the shown call uses a generated output path and fixed timestamp and dimensions.
- The preinstall hook only checks the Node.js major version and exits when it is below 20.
- The preinstall script does not install payloads, modify project files, or contact a network endpoint.
- The inspected media upload path uses WhatsApp media connection hosts and a WhatsApp authentication token.
