canvasxpress-cli@68.6.0
Node program to run canvasXpress in the command line
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo automatic install-time attack or confirmed malicious action was found. The active obfuscated payload and unsafe browser launch flags warrant a warning rather than a clean verdict.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs a rendering command with input content or a URL.
Impact
A malicious page supplied to the CLI could run in the launched browser; the obfuscated routine cannot be fully audited from readable source.
Mechanism
Browser rendering with weakened Chromium isolation and hidden dynamic code.
AI rationale
No automatic install-time attack or confirmed malicious action was found. The active obfuscated payload and unsafe browser launch flags warrant a warning rather than a clean verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The bundled renderer constructs and immediately invokes an obfuscated function at runtime.
- The user-invoked renderer starts Chromium with sandbox disabled and local-file access enabled.
Evidence against
- package.json has no install or lifecycle scripts.
- The browser and network behavior is reached through explicit CLI rendering commands.
- No source evidence of environment harvesting, credential theft, or package-install persistence was found.
