@telora/daemon@0.24.16

⚠ Under review

Agent orchestration daemon for Telora - spawns and manages Claude Code instances

AI Security Review

scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Inspected source shows package-aligned self-updating and an explicitly invoked connect command, without establishing malicious behavior. The required clean review paths exceed the citation limit, so I cannot resolve the remaining coverage and classify the package as manual review.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The auto-update controller may act when a newer version is available and the daemon reaches an idle boundary.

Impact

No concrete attack impact was established from the inspected excerpts; required source coverage remains incomplete.

Mechanism

The controller invokes the package self-update flow, which installs @telora/daemon@latest.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsondist/update/self-update.jsdist/update/auto-update.jsdist/index.jsdist/cli/connect.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 62.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest shows a prepublishOnly build task and no install lifecycle hook in the inspected scripts.
The self-update flow installs @telora/daemon@latest, and the auto-update controller can run it when a newer version is available at an idle boundary.
The connect command is an explicit CLI action that redeems a token, writes configuration, and starts the daemon.

Evidence against

The inspected update behavior installs this package through its update channel; these source excerpts do not establish an attack.
The required clean citation coverage exceeds the 128-citation limit, so the remaining required paths are unresolved.

7 * Self-update mechanism for the Telora daemon.

8 *

9 * Handles the full update lifecycle:

10 * 1. Detect installation mode (npm global, npx cache, or git source)

11 * 2. Dependency-ordered rebuild chain for git source mode

12 * 3. Pre-update snapshot for rollback

13 * 4. Update orchestration (stop engines, update, restart)

14 * 5. Version check and up-to-date detection

15 * 6. Migration auto-apply after update

16 *

17 * Three installation modes:

18 * - **npm**: Installed globally via `npm install -g @telora/daemon`.

19 * Updates via `npm install -g --@telora:registry=<channel> @telora/daemon@latest`

20 * (the update channel: npmjs unless TELORA_REGISTRY_URL overrides it).

21 * - **npx**: Running from an ephemeral npx cache (`~/.npm/_npx/<hash>/`).

22 * Self-update can't replace the running binary in place. The update path

23 * clears the npx cache and instructs the user to re-run via `npx`, which

24 * will then fetch the latest version. Auto-update is disabled.

25 * - **git**: Running from a git checkout (development mode).

26 * Updates via `git pull` + dependency-ordered rebuild.
