@pawlogic/dl@0.41.1
AI Security Review
scanned 9h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s self-update flow sends identifying runtime telemetry, including user and project identifiers and the sandbox host name, without an evident disclosure or opt-out in the inspected source. This warrants a warning, but the reviewed code does not establish credential theft or unrelated data collection.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
When the CLI's self-update path runs; the package has no install lifecycle scripts.
Impact
The callback service can associate update activity with specific users, projects, prompts, tool calls, and sandboxes.
Mechanism
Posts update outcomes and environment-provided project, user, prompt, tool-call, and sandbox identifiers, plus the host name, to CALLBACK_SERVER_URL/sandbox-rpc/dl/selfupdate-event with DL_PROXY_TOKEN.
AI rationale
The package’s self-update flow sends identifying runtime telemetry, including user and project identifiers and the sandbox host name, without an evident disclosure or opt-out in the inspected source. This warrants a warning, but the reviewed code does not establish credential theft or unrelated data collection.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes dl.mjs and ilands.mjs as CLI entry points and declares no lifecycle scripts.
- dl.mjs sends self-update events to CALLBACK_SERVER_URL using DL_PROXY_TOKEN.
- Those events include project, user, prompt, tool-call, and sandbox identifiers read from environment variables and the host name.
- dl-npm-update.sh also posts self-update outcomes to the callback endpoint with the proxy token.
Evidence against
- The event is limited to self-update status and related context; the inspected code does not show credential or file-content collection.
- The package has no install lifecycle scripts, and the self-update flow is associated with running the CLI.
- The updater sends to a configured callback-server URL and uses its corresponding proxy token.
