@socketsecurity/cli-with-sentry@1.9.0
⚠ Under reviewCLI for Socket.dev, includes Sentry error handling, otherwise identical to the regular `socket` package
AI Security Review
scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiInspected source supports ordinary CLI and Coana integration behavior, but does not resolve all required review coverage. In particular, a required binary path cannot be inspected as UTF-8 source, so manual review is appropriate without treating the binary itself as evidence of an attack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The CLI shim launches the bundled command; Coana handling occurs when its helper is called.
Impact
No confirmed harmful effect was identified; unresolved required files prevent a definitive assessment.
Mechanism
The Coana helper can pass a Socket API token to a Coana child process. The reviewed excerpts do not establish that the token is sent to an unrelated recipient.
AI rationale
Inspected source supports ordinary CLI and Coana integration behavior, but does not resolve all required review coverage. In particular, a required binary path cannot be inspected as UTF-8 source, so manual review is appropriate without treating the binary itself as evidence of an attack.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 77.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The package identifies itself as the Socket CLI with Sentry support. [package.json]
- The CLI shim starts the bundled CLI in a child process. [bin/cli.js]
- The Coana helper passes a Socket API token to a separately launched Coana CLI when one is available. [dist/utils.js]
- Registry redirect handling removes authorization and cookie headers when the hostname changes. [external/@socketsecurity/registry/external/libnpmpack.js]
- The required clean-review coverage includes a binary Maven extension that cannot be cited as UTF-8 source, along with many other required paths not resolved in this review.
Evidence against
- The inspected excerpts do not establish credential theft, unconsented installation behavior, or another concrete attack.
