canvasxpress-cli@72.2.0
Node program to run canvasXpress in the command line
AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI entrypoint and package manifest show ordinary user-invoked chart rendering, but the bundled library contains active obfuscated runtime code whose behavior remains unresolved. Warn without blocking because no concrete attack was established.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The CLI starts through its declared bin and routes user-selected commands to local handlers; the manifest declares no lifecycle script.
- The browser library contains an obfuscated generated function that executes immediately and includes hidden logic called when a chart finishes loading.
- Static inspection did not resolve the hidden logic’s full purpose or any recipient, so no concrete attack was established.
- The package describes itself as a command-line visualization tool and routes chart commands through Playwright to the selected input or its local HTML template.
- The visible beacon URL uses the CanvasXpress service domain, consistent with the package’s charting function.
