A CLI to upload to capgo servers

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The published manifest has a normal CLI bin and no npm install lifecycle, and it does not depend on another release of itself. Process spawning, Capgo API calls, and telemetry are command-gated product behavior rather than a hidden install attack.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user invokes the capgo binary or imports the SDK and runs a command.

Impact

No unconsented credential theft, foreign agent-config mutation, or install-hook payload was established.

Mechanism

Command handlers upload bundles, manage apps, and optionally report product telemetry to Capgo and PostHog. Background workers receive workerData from that command.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json names the capgo bin as dist/index.js and defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
Runtime dependencies do not include @capgo/cli, so install does not pull another lifecycle release of this package.
dist/index.js is a user-invoked CLI that parses process.argv and can disable telemetry with --no-analytics.
The SDK and workers call Capgo product hosts and worker threads only after a command starts them.

Evidence against

Bundled CLI code can spawn local processes and send product telemetry after the user runs a command.
Optional skills text describes a prompted skills install, which is not an npm lifecycle write.
