@capgo/cli@8.53.0

A CLI to upload to capgo servers

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found no automatic install trigger or proven exfiltration, but the bundled runtime retains dynamic execution-adjacent and process-launching capabilities that could not be fully resolved. Downgrade to a warning rather than block publication.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

A user invokes the capgo CLI.

Impact

The full behavior of the minified bundles could not be conclusively traced; no concrete malicious action was proven.

Mechanism

Dynamic module loading, child-process support, and telemetry requests in bundled runtime code.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 63.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The updater bundle constructs a dynamic importer with Function.
The CLI entry bundle imports child-process execution support.
The SDK bundle includes a PostHog telemetry endpoint.
The manifest exposes the bundled executable as the package entrypoint.

Evidence against

The manifest contains no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
The observed network endpoint is telemetry-related and no source-proven credential exfiltration was established.
The dynamic importer appears in a large bundled CLI worker, not an install-time hook.
