@devilsdev/rag-pipeline-utils@3.3.0
Composable retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for Node.js: grounded citations, evaluation, guardrails, hybrid retrieval and a CLI.
AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reviewed execution and network behavior is consistent with the package's plugin and RAG tooling. No automatic attack behavior or unrelated credential transfer was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Plugin execution occurs when the plugin sandbox is used; CLI actions run from an explicit command invocation.
Impact
No automatic credential theft, unrelated network contact, or harmful default action was found in the inspected paths.
Mechanism
Plugin code is evaluated in an isolated VM with timeout protection. The CLI subprocess helper restricts executable names, and registry requests use the configured registry URL.
AI rationale
The reviewed execution and network behavior is consistent with the package's plugin and RAG tooling. No automatic attack behavior or unrelated credential transfer was identified.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exports its library separately from the CLI entry point.
- The CLI entry point loads the CLI and runs it with the user's process arguments.
- Dynamic evaluation executes plugin code inside a sandbox with timeout protection.
- The CLI subprocess helper permits only a short executable allowlist.
- The plugin registry API key is optional and is attached to requests made by the configured registry client.
Evidence against
- The package includes dynamic plugin execution and subprocess capabilities that warrant care when users invoke those features.
- The CLI can read a registry API key from an environment variable and send it to the configured registry.
