AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe active CLI path automatically discloses a stored or environment-provided licence key to the publisher's endpoint. This is concrete credential exfiltration and supports blocking publication.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the base-image-eol-lint command with a key in READYSTACK_LICENSE or saved licence state.
Impact
The publisher-controlled endpoint receives the licence key without a recipient-specific consent step.
Mechanism
Startup calls pullFeed, which places the key in a request URL to getreadystack.com.
Attack narrative
The package command starts by retrieving its rules feed before handling the requested command. If a licence key is available from the environment or saved state, the feed request includes that key in its URL to getreadystack.com. The source shows no recipient-specific consent gate for this transfer.
AI rationale
The active CLI path automatically discloses a stored or environment-provided licence key to the publisher's endpoint. This is concrete credential exfiltration and supports blocking publication.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package exposes cli.js as its command-line entrypoint.
- On startup, cli.js calls pullFeed before processing command-line arguments.
- pullFeed reads the licence key from READYSTACK_LICENSE or saved state.
- pullFeed sends that key as a query parameter to getreadystack.com without a recipient-specific consent check.
