SolidActions CLI - Deploy and manage workflow automation
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package's install metadata has no install-time hook, and the flagged process execution is tied to explicit CLI operations. Its automatic startup request checks the package version at the npm registry, is disclosed in the README, and can be disabled.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The version check starts during CLI startup; deployment and local command execution require the corresponding CLI command.
Impact
No unauthorized credential or project-data transfer was identified. The version check sends only a generic user agent and request headers.
Mechanism
The background worker checks registry.npmjs.org for the latest package version. Explicit deploy commands upload the selected project archive and source metadata; local dev and skill commands run the requested code.
AI rationale
The package's install metadata has no install-time hook, and the flagged process execution is tied to explicit CLI operations. Its automatic startup request checks the package version at the npm registry, is disclosed in the README, and can be disabled.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, which runs the build; no install-time hook is declared.
- The CLI parses arguments only when run as the process entry point.
- A detached update check requests the package's latest version from registry.npmjs.org using a generic package user agent.
- The README describes the daily background refresh and documents SOLIDACTIONS_NO_AGENT_NUDGES=1 to disable it.
- The npx subprocess is used to re-run a TypeScript workflow for the dev command; the skill runner executes the command supplied by the user.
Evidence against
- The update request is limited to the package's version check and does not include credentials or project data.
- Source metadata is collected and uploaded as part of an explicit deploy operation.
- The shell execution path runs a caller-specified command from an explicit skill command.
