@socketsecurity/cli-with-sentry@1.1.175
CLI for Socket.dev, includes Sentry error handling, otherwise identical to the regular `socket` package
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic inspection found a user-invoked Socket CLI with configured Sentry error telemetry, not malicious behavior. There are no package install hooks or source evidence of a concrete attack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes one of the package binaries; telemetry is used when the CLI handles an error.
Impact
No unconsented install-time mutation, credential harvesting, remote payload execution, or destructive behavior was found.
Mechanism
The launcher spawns the packaged CLI, and its error handler can submit an exception to Sentry.
AI rationale
Static inspection found a user-invoked Socket CLI with configured Sentry error telemetry, not malicious behavior. There are no package install hooks or source evidence of a concrete attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- Package metadata exposes CLI binaries and contains no install lifecycle hook.
- The launcher runs the packaged CLI only when its binary is invoked.
- The terminal helper compiles terminal capability strings, not package-supplied remote code.
- The bundled npm-pack helper is a vendored dependency component.
- Error reporting is sent to the declared Sentry ingestion endpoint during CLI error handling.
- The bundled vendor code names the Socket API endpoint, and the JAR is a Maven extension archive.
