Channel Manager worker daemon — runs on remote machines to execute video pipeline jobs
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no install hook and no concrete malicious behavior. The runtime polling and package self-update are consistent with the configured worker service and do not establish an attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user starts the CLI with a worker token.
Impact
The inspected behavior supports the worker's stated operation; no malicious impact was established.
Mechanism
The daemon polls its configured service for commands and checks npm for updates to channel-worker.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no install hook and no concrete malicious behavior. The runtime polling and package self-update are consistent with the configured worker service and do not establish an attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the CLI and daemon entrypoints and defines no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI requires a worker token before starting the daemon.
- The updater checks the npm registry for this package and installs its own newer release; the daemon starts this updater as a product function.
- The command poller handles server commands, while the Playwright runner restricts script names to local scripts.
- No inspected source established credential theft, unrelated data disclosure, destructive behavior, or an unconsented control-surface change.
