Channel Manager worker daemon — runs on remote machines to execute video pipeline jobs

AI Security Review

scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected update and Facebook automation paths align with the package's worker purpose. The scanner flags did not establish credential theft, unrelated data transfer, destructive behavior, or an unrequested account action.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The daemon runs when started through the CLI; publishing code runs as part of a worker task.

Impact

No concrete malicious effect was established from these product-aligned behaviors.

Mechanism

The package checks for its own update and can download a browser extension from the configured dashboard. The Facebook script downloads task media and automates the Facebook publishing flow.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 87.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines start and dev commands and has no install lifecycle hook.
The CLI starts the daemon, and its updater checks for a newer release of channel-worker from the npm registry.
The daemon checks for a browser extension update through its configured dashboard when an extension path is set.
The Facebook script downloads the supplied video and opens Facebook to publish it, consistent with the package's worker function.
