canvasxpress-cli@69.8.0
Node program to run canvasXpress in the command line
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected entrypoint behavior is aligned with a CanvasXpress rendering CLI and is activated by explicit user commands. No concrete malicious behavior was found by static inspection.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the canvasxpress command with a rendering or canvas-script option.
Impact
It produces requested image or data exports; no credential collection, exfiltration, lifecycle hook, or persistence behavior was found.
Mechanism
The CLI dispatches commands to a Playwright renderer and, for the canvas command, loads the user-selected local test module.
AI rationale
The inspected entrypoint behavior is aligned with a CanvasXpress rendering CLI and is activated by explicit user commands. No concrete malicious behavior was found by static inspection.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- Package metadata exposes a command-line CanvasXpress program through its bin entry.
- The required bundled source identifies itself as the CanvasXpress JavaScript library.
- The renderer navigates only when the user supplies an input or uses its local template, then waits for CanvasXpress before exporting.
- The dynamic local module load is an explicit canvas command whose help describes it as running test scripts.
Evidence against
- The renderer accepts user-provided HTTP(S) or file inputs and launches Chromium with local-file-access flags, so untrusted render targets should not be used.
