AI Security Review
scanned 28d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe configurable telemetry destination creates a conditional credential exposure risk, but the inspected source does not show a package-controlled recipient or an install-time attack. This supports a warning rather than a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The CLI self-update telemetry or the shipped updater's reporting function runs with both environment variables set.
Impact
A configured unintended recipient could receive the token and the telemetry payload.
Mechanism
The code posts telemetry to CALLBACK_SERVER_URL and attaches DL_PROXY_TOKEN as a bearer token, without restricting the destination.
AI rationale
The configurable telemetry destination creates a conditional credential exposure risk, but the inspected source does not show a package-controlled recipient or an install-time attack. This supports a warning rather than a publish block.
Evidence
dl.mjsdl-npm-update.sh
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- dl.mjs sends DL_PROXY_TOKEN as a bearer token to the endpoint selected by CALLBACK_SERVER_URL; the URL is checked for presence but not restricted.
- dl-npm-update.sh also sends DL_PROXY_TOKEN to CALLBACK_SERVER_URL in its telemetry request.
Evidence against
- package.json exposes CLI binaries and declares no install lifecycle hooks.
- The runtime self-update command is an explicit CLI action; the package manifest identifies dl.mjs and ilands.mjs as its binaries.
