CLI for Socket.dev
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe high-risk findings are vendored dependency behavior or explicit CLI functionality, not an automatic attack chain. The package has no lifecycle script and source inspection found credential redirect protection rather than unrestricted forwarding.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs a Socket CLI command.
Impact
No unconsented credential export, persistence, or destructive action was established.
Mechanism
User-invoked dependency and build-tool analysis.
AI rationale
The high-risk findings are vendored dependency behavior or explicit CLI functionality, not an automatic attack chain. The package has no lifecycle script and source inspection found credential redirect protection rather than unrestricted forwarding.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes command-line entrypoints and contains no install lifecycle hook.
- The launcher only starts the packaged CLI with the caller's arguments and inherited standard I/O.
- The reported dynamic evaluation is terminal capability formatting code in vendored blessed.
- Registry authentication is selected from the destination URI and credentials are removed when redirects change hostname.
- The large vendor bundle's fetch helper uses caller-supplied request options.
- The Maven archive is loaded only by the CLI's Maven-analysis path, which creates a temporary records file.
