Node program to run canvasXpress in the command line
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic inspection found a CLI renderer whose network behavior is tied to user-selected input. No concrete malicious behavior or automatic lifecycle trigger was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes a rendering command and supplies input data or a page URL.
Impact
It creates requested chart output; no install-time execution, credential collection, or package-controlled exfiltration was found.
Mechanism
The CLI dispatches the selected render operation to Playwright, which opens the supplied target or bundled local template.
AI rationale
Static inspection found a CLI renderer whose network behavior is tied to user-selected input. No concrete malicious behavior or automatic lifecycle trigger was found.
Evidence

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a CanvasXpress command-line entrypoint.
- The command dispatcher sends explicitly selected rendering commands to its I/O handler.
- The I/O handler navigates Playwright to the supplied input or bundled local template.
- The bundled library's HTTP helper performs a GET for its caller-provided URL.
