@socketsecurity/cli-with-sentry@1.3.0
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 no lifecycle hooks or concrete malicious behavior. The observed telemetry is associated with user-invoked CLI execution and defaults to disabled.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs one of the package's command-line binaries.
Impact
No unconsented install-time execution, credential theft, destructive action, or persistence was established.
Mechanism
The launcher starts the packaged CLI and forwards command-line arguments; telemetry is initialized during CLI execution.
AI rationale
Static inspection found no lifecycle hooks or concrete malicious behavior. The observed telemetry is associated with user-invoked CLI execution and defaults to disabled.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- Package metadata exposes command-line binaries rather than an install lifecycle hook.
- The command launcher starts the packaged CLI only when the user invokes its binary.
- The terminal capability component identifies itself as terminfo parsing code.
- The large registry component is bundled JavaScript using standard Node modules.
- The CLI records telemetry during an invoked command, while the telemetry configuration defaults to disabled and Sentry capture is conditional on a configured client.
- The bundled archive contains a standard Maven manifest entry.
