canvasxpress-cli@68.3.0
Node program to run canvasXpress in the command line
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe suspicious signals arise from a bundled minified visualization library and the CLI's intended headless-browser rendering workflow. The package has no install-time execution or concrete malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs a rendering or canvas subcommand.
Impact
The tool can process user-selected local files or URLs and write requested render output; no unconsented behavior was found.
Mechanism
User-invoked chart rendering and optional local module loading.
AI rationale
The suspicious signals arise from a bundled minified visualization library and the CLI's intended headless-browser rendering workflow. The package has no install-time execution or concrete malicious behavior.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The flagged large source file identifies itself as the CanvasXpress 68.3 visualization library, consistent with generated/minified library code.
- Dynamic loading occurs only for the explicit canvas command and uses the path supplied by the CLI user.
- Browser navigation and in-page evaluation occur in the rendering command path, not during installation or import.
- The manifest defines a CLI and dependencies but no lifecycle scripts.
Evidence against
- No install, preinstall, postinstall, or prepare hook is declared.
- No credential or environment harvesting, secret exfiltration, persistence, or destructive action was found.
- Network access is part of user-requested rendering of local or supplied URL input.
- The eval matches are within the bundled visualization library's function/event reconstruction logic, not a hidden payload loader.
