API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe published entry is a CLI with no install hook, and network use is gated on an operator-provided APP_URL and token. Bundled engine helpers that could download Electron or run request scripts are not an independent attack chain in this entrypoint.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs the api-spector-agent binary with APP_URL and a token.
Impact
No unsolicited credential theft, file mutation, or foreign agent control-surface write was identified.
Mechanism
The process polls the configured monitor-runtime due feed and posts check results back to the same host.
AI rationale
The published entry is a CLI with no install hook, and network use is gated on an operator-provided APP_URL and token. Bundled engine helpers that could download Electron or run request scripts are not an independent attack chain in this entrypoint.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json publishes a CLI bin and main of dist/index.cjs and declares no install lifecycle scripts or dependencies.
- The process exits unless the operator sets APP_URL and AGENT_TOKEN or RUNTIME_TOKEN.
- Due checks are fetched from, and results posted only to, that operator APP_URL under the supplied auth headers.
Evidence against
- A bundled Electron downloader and a vm script sandbox exist in the engine, but the agent entry does not call the Electron path and globals persistence stays disabled because the working directory is never set.
