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, the CLI requires a worker token, and inspected runtime behavior fits the package’s worker and self-update functions. Scanner signals such as child-process use and runtime installation do not establish malicious behavior in this context.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A user starts the CLI after configuring a worker token.

Impact

The worker carries out configured automation and can install a newer package release; no concrete attack behavior was established.

Mechanism

The daemon polls for named dashboard commands and checks for package updates during runtime.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The manifest defines the daemon and CLI entrypoints and only start/dev scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook.
The CLI requires a worker token before starting the daemon.
The updater checks for a newer release and installs it as a runtime update.
The daemon starts the command poller as part of worker operation.
The command poller dispatches named worker commands through explicit handlers.
Playwright commands map to package script names by removing the _pw suffix.
