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 lifecycle install hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged child-process use, polling, and updates are tied to the configured daemon’s worker and browser-agent functions.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs the CLI to pair or start the worker.
Impact
The inspected paths do not establish unrequested credential transfer, destructive behavior, or another concrete attack.
Mechanism
The CLI saves worker configuration, starts a daemon, and the daemon polls for jobs and commands; periodic updates install a newer worker release.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no lifecycle install hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged child-process use, polling, and updates are tied to the configured daemon’s worker and browser-agent functions.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest defines a daemon entrypoint and no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI starts the daemon as a detached copy of itself after loading saved or supplied worker configuration.
- The updater fetches the latest version and installs it only when it is newer.
- The daemon starts heartbeat, job polling, and command polling as worker functions.
- The flagged locator runs Windows process and port discovery commands to locate the browser agent.
