API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 28d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the executable source uses caller-provided configuration to authenticate to the configured monitoring service. Scanner signals such as VM execution correspond to bundled expression-evaluation dependencies; no concrete attack behavior was found in the inspected active entrypoint.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the api-spector-agent CLI.
Impact
No malicious effect was established from the inspected source; requests target the configured service.
Mechanism
The entrypoint requires APP_URL and an authentication token, then polls the configured runtime API and posts monitor results there.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the executable source uses caller-provided configuration to authenticate to the configured monitoring service. Scanner signals such as VM execution correspond to bundled expression-evaluation dependencies; no concrete attack behavior was found in the inspected active entrypoint.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes a CLI and main entrypoint in the bundled file and declares no install lifecycle hook.
- The entrypoint reads the app URL and authentication token from caller-provided environment variables, then uses them for the runtime API.
- Startup requires both a configured app URL and a token; the process polls that app for monitor jobs.
