@pawlogic/dl@0.14.2
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an inert, externally triggered self-update/telemetry carrier rather than concrete malicious install-time behavior. Its global mutation and metadata reporting warrant a warning, but no foreign or broad agent-control-surface mutation was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
An external dl sandbox wrapper invokes dl-npm-update.sh with update and callback environment variables.
Impact
Can replace @pawlogic/dl files and dl/ilands shims in the sandbox user prefix; sends supplied sandbox metadata and npm failure tail.
Mechanism
same-vendor CLI self-update plus authenticated telemetry

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- dl-npm-update.sh can globally reinstall @pawlogic/dl when an external wrapper invokes it.
- The helper posts sandbox identifiers and npm error tails using DL_PROXY_TOKEN.
- The helper replaces same-command dl/ilands shims and copies its next-version script.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook.
- Only dl.mjs and ilands.mjs are npm bin entrypoints; neither references dl-npm-update.sh.
- CLI network, credential storage, and child-process use are tied to explicit login/service commands.
