Command-line interface for rstream.

AI Security Review

scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Install lifecycle delegates to an external installer configured to retrieve a hosted platform binary. The CLI later executes that binary from its package-local `release/` directory. No malicious behavior is confirmed in the shipped wrapper source.

Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm install invokes `rstream-installer`; running `rstream` invokes the downloaded local binary.
Impact
A remotely supplied native executable becomes the effective CLI payload; its contents are outside this package source.
Mechanism
install-time hosted binary acquisition followed by local binary spawning
Rationale
The source does not establish malicious intent or behavior, but it intentionally delegates install-time payload delivery to an uninspectable hosted binary. Warn rather than block so the remote binary delivery chain receives scrutiny.
Evidence

Network endpoints1

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
  • `package.json` runs `rstream-installer` during npm install.
  • `package.json` configures installer registry `https://rstream.io`.
  • `README.md` states install downloads an OS-specific hosted binary.
  • `dist/main.js` executes `release/bin/rstream` with `spawn`.
Evidence against
  • `dist/main.js` only checks for and forwards arguments to its local binary.
  • No credential, environment, or user-file harvesting appears in shipped files.
  • No exfiltration, eval, shell execution, persistence, or AI-agent config mutation appears in shipped files.
  • The downloader and binary payload are package-aligned, though not inspectable here.
