@socketsecurity/cli-with-sentry@1.1.170
CLI for Socket.dev, includes Sentry error handling, otherwise identical to the regular `socket` package
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo concrete exfiltration, persistence, destructive action, or install-hook abuse was established from the reviewed source. The opaque executable archive prevents a clean verdict under the required static-only review boundary.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user invokes the CLI with Maven or reachability-related commands.
Impact
The archive cannot be fully assessed through static JavaScript source inspection.
Mechanism
Bundled opaque Java archive executed by CLI functionality.
AI rationale
No concrete exfiltration, persistence, destructive action, or install-hook abuse was established from the reviewed source. The opaque executable archive prevents a clean verdict under the required static-only review boundary.
Evidence
dist/manifest-scripts/maven-extension/coana-maven-extension.jar
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 66.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package ships an opaque Java archive; its bytecode could not be fully source-reviewed.
- The CLI is user-invoked and runs a child Node process with the caller's environment.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The executable is exposed only through named CLI commands.
- The terminal-library dynamic Function use compiles terminal capability strings, not a network payload.
- The Socket API host in bundled code is package-aligned.
