Channel Manager worker daemon — runs on remote machines to execute video pipeline jobs
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install hook, and the inspected runtime behavior is package-aligned: it starts the worker on command and supports same-package updates and local NST discovery. Scanner indicators of shell execution, networking, and environment use did not establish concrete attack behavior in the inspected source.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The updater runs after the daemon is started; agent discovery runs when a configured NST user is resolved on Windows.
Impact
No unrelated credential transfer, unrequested account action, or harmful system change was established.
Mechanism
The updater checks the npm registry and can install a newer channel-worker release globally. Agent discovery uses tasklist and netstat output to locate the configured user's local agent.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected runtime behavior is package-aligned: it starts the worker on command and supports same-package updates and local NST discovery. Scanner indicators of shell execution, networking, and environment use did not establish concrete attack behavior in the inspected source.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 84.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest defines only start and dev commands and no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI starts the daemon from an explicit start command using saved or supplied configuration.
- The updater checks npm for a newer release and installs the channel-worker package itself; the daemon starts this checker every five minutes.
- The new NST locator runs Windows-only process and port lookups to find the configured agent.
Evidence against
- The automatic updater can install newer releases globally, but source shows it retrieves the version for this same package from the npm registry.
- The shell calls in the NST locator are used for Windows process and port discovery; no unrelated command or remote payload behavior was identified.
