@pawlogic/dl@0.17.0
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo registry lifecycle hook is present, so the evidence does not meet the install-hook blocking threshold. The runtime self-update and telemetry behavior remains a real supply-chain risk when used by its intended wrapper.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
An external sandbox wrapper runs dl-npm-update.sh, or a user invokes the CLI self-update path.
Impact
A configured sandbox can receive a different package release and disclose operational metadata to its configured callback service.
Mechanism
Tag-selected self-update with shim persistence and callback telemetry.
AI rationale
No registry lifecycle hook is present, so the evidence does not meet the install-hook blocking threshold. The runtime self-update and telemetry behavior remains a real supply-chain risk when used by its intended wrapper.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The shipped updater installs a tag-selected release of its own package globally with npm.
- It relinks command shims and overwrites a persistent updater script after installation.
- It sends environment-derived project, user, prompt, tool-call, and sandbox identifiers to an environment-configured callback endpoint.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle script.
- The updater is not invoked by the package manifest; activation requires an external wrapper or an explicit CLI action.
- No source-established fixed exfiltration host or credential harvesting was found.
