@devilsdev/rag-pipeline-utils@3.4.0
Composable retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for Node.js: grounded citations, evaluation, guardrails, hybrid retrieval and a CLI.
AI Security Review
scanned 16h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged dynamic execution belongs to the package’s plugin sandbox, and the CLI process and network capabilities are constrained to package features. I found no malicious behavior in the reviewed paths.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Registry requests require registry configuration; process execution is exposed through CLI repair operations.
Impact
No malicious impact was identified in the inspected source.
Mechanism
The CLI constrains subprocess commands and disables shell mode. Plugin code runs in a restricted sandbox, with networking gated by an option.
AI rationale
The flagged dynamic execution belongs to the package’s plugin sandbox, and the CLI process and network capabilities are constrained to package features. I found no malicious behavior in the reviewed paths.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package describes a RAG library and points its main entry to dist/index.cjs.
- CLI process execution is limited to a short command allowlist and disables shell mode.
- Plugin registry requests require a configured registry URL and use that configured URL.
- The plugin sandbox blocks require, import, eval, and Function; network access is gated by an option.
