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 lifecycle hook, and the reviewed shell execution is tied to updating this package or locating a local browser agent. The inspected source establishes no concrete attack behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes the CLI to start the daemon; update checks then run during daemon operation.
Impact
No malicious credential transfer, unrequested account action, destructive behavior, persistence, or consumer policy mutation was established.
Mechanism
The updater checks npm for this package's latest version and installs it. The agent locator queries local Windows process and port information, then probes the agent API.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed shell execution is tied to updating this package or locating a local browser agent. The inspected source establishes no concrete attack behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json defines start and dev commands and lists no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI starts the daemon through its start command and exits if no worker token is configured.
- The updater checks npm for this package's latest version and installs the package by name.
- The daemon starts periodic update checks as part of its runtime.
- The flagged agent locator runs tasklist and netstat and probes the local agent API to identify an Nstbrowser agent.
Evidence against
- The daemon automatically installs newer package versions with a shell command; inspected source ties this behavior to updating channel-worker itself.
