@nx/workspace@23.2.1
The Workspace plugin contains executors and generators that are useful for any Nx workspace. It should be present in every Nx workspace and other plugins build on it.
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected code does not show malware, automatic installation behavior, secret collection, or exfiltration. A warning is appropriate for the guarded AI-agent configuration capability whose implementation is external to this package.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs workspace generation and supplies one or more aiAgents.
Impact
Selected agent integration files may be configured in the newly generated workspace; the exact writes are not visible in this package.
Mechanism
Guarded AI-agent integration setup delegated to the Nx devkit.
AI rationale
The inspected code does not show malware, automatic installation behavior, secret collection, or exfiltration. A warning is appropriate for the guarded AI-agent configuration capability whose implementation is external to this package.
Evidence
dist/src/generators/new/generate-workspace-files.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- A workspace-generation option invokes an AI-agent setup generator when agents are selected.
- The generator can fork the Nx CLI to apply a requested preset.
- The package dynamically loads optional Nx migration plugins.
- The move generator derives and validates destination and import-path settings.
- The manifest exposes workspace generators and has an Nx runtime dependency.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
- AI-agent setup is guarded by a non-empty user-provided aiAgents option.
- The child process runs the resolved local Nx CLI during explicit workspace generation.
- No credential harvesting, exfiltration, or hidden network client was found in the inspected sources.
