⚠ Under reviewNode program to run canvasXpress in the command line
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe readable entrypoints are a user-run chart CLI without install hooks or secret harvesting. src/canvasXpress.js is binary and cannot be cited, so a clean verdict cannot be finalized.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Inspection stops at a binary read of src/canvasXpress.js; the CLI itself starts only when the user runs the canvasxpress bin.
Impact
No confirmed install-time or covert attack was established from readable files. The unreadable library file leaves required citation coverage incomplete.
Mechanism
package.json has a bin and dependencies and no lifecycle scripts. Commands open Playwright against a local template or a caller-supplied URL and write logs and downloads under the package or the chosen output path.
AI rationale
The readable entrypoints are a user-run chart CLI without install hooks or secret harvesting. src/canvasXpress.js is binary and cannot be cited, so a clean verdict cannot be finalized.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 46.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- package.json names canvasxpress-cli 66.5.0, exposes only the canvasxpress bin, and declares no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts.
- The bin loads index.js only when the user runs the command; rendering uses Playwright against a user input or the local canvasXpress HTML template.
- src/canvasXpress.js is not readable as text, so the required clean citation for that path cannot be verified.
Evidence against
- No child_process, eval, credential reads, or self-dependency appear in the readable JavaScript.
- Network use is the user-supplied input URL or the vendor canvasxpress.org example and library URLs, and only after a CLI command.
