@socketsecurity/cli-with-sentry@1.1.153
CLI for Socket.dev, includes Sentry error handling, otherwise identical to the regular `socket` package
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner findings resolve to expected CLI subprocess handling, vendored package-manager code, an inspectable Maven archive, and explicit Sentry/Socket telemetry. No lifecycle hook, secret exfiltration path, remote payload execution, or persistence behavior was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User invokes a package CLI command.
Impact
May send sanitized CLI telemetry to Socket and error events to Sentry during CLI operation; no credential harvesting or unconsented persistence was confirmed.
Mechanism
Socket CLI command execution with Sentry error reporting and opt-in organization telemetry.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook.
- bin/cli.js only launches the packaged CLI after explicit CLI invocation.
- dist/instrument-with-sentry.js initializes the declared Sentry integration.
- dist/utils.js telemetry is org-scoped, disabled by default, and redacts token-like argv values.
- external/blessed/lib/tput.js eval is terminal-capability parsing in vendored blessed code.
- The JAR is a structured Maven extension archive, not an opaque executable payload.
