⚠ Under reviewCLI for Socket.dev, includes Sentry error handling, otherwise identical to the regular `socket` package
AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source does not establish credential exfiltration or another attack, and the flagged token handling appears tied to GitHub Actions identity-token retrieval. The shipped Maven extension JAR could not be inspected as source, so the package remains unresolved and warrants manual review.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Use of an exposed CLI entrypoint activates the bundled CLI; the Maven extension artifact’s activation could not be determined from its unreadable contents.
Impact
No concrete malicious effect is confirmed; the unresolved binary prevents a clean determination.
Mechanism
The visible wrapper starts the bundled CLI. Inspection could not establish whether the included binary contains additional behavior.
AI rationale
The inspected source does not establish credential exfiltration or another attack, and the flagged token handling appears tied to GitHub Actions identity-token retrieval. The shipped Maven extension JAR could not be inspected as source, so the package remains unresolved and warrants manual review.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 72.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The package exposes CLI entrypoints that launch the bundled dist CLI, so its runtime behavior warrants review.
- The package includes dist files, including a 6.9 MB vendor bundle that could not be fully reviewed within bounded excerpts.
- The shipped Maven extension JAR is unreadable as source, leaving its behavior unresolved; binary format alone does not establish maliciousness.
Evidence against
- The inspected CLI wrapper launches the bundled CLI with inherited environment and standard I/O; the excerpt shows no unrelated destination or credential forwarding.
- The flagged token code requests a GitHub Actions identity token from the URL supplied by the GitHub Actions environment and uses its audience parameter.
