@pawlogic/dl@0.15.24
AI Security Review
scanned 28d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source establishes a guarded credential-forwarding risk: the updater sends DL_PROXY_TOKEN to an environment-selected callback URL without a destination restriction. The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected source does not establish a package-controlled recipient or malicious intent.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A sandbox wrapper invokes the updater when DL_NPM_DIST_TAG is set and callback telemetry environment values are present.
Impact
The configured endpoint receives the sandbox proxy token and update metadata; no confirmed malicious use of the token was established.
Mechanism
The helper sends an HTTPS or HTTP POST to CALLBACK_SERVER_URL with DL_PROXY_TOKEN in an Authorization bearer header.
AI rationale
The source establishes a guarded credential-forwarding risk: the updater sends DL_PROXY_TOKEN to an environment-selected callback URL without a destination restriction. The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected source does not establish a package-controlled recipient or malicious intent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- dl.mjs accepts CALLBACK_SERVER_URL from the environment as the sandbox API base and pairs it with DL_PROXY_TOKEN.
- dl-npm-update.sh conditionally posts update telemetry to that configured URL with DL_PROXY_TOKEN as a bearer credential.
- The telemetry path is gated by DL_NPM_DIST_TAG and required environment values; no package install lifecycle hook is declared.
Evidence against
- package.json declares only CLI binaries and no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The inspected request code sends API requests to the configured service base; no separate package-controlled recipient was identified.
