Channel Manager worker daemon — runs on remote machines to execute video pipeline jobs
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged runtime behaviors are consistent with the package's worker update and Windows agent-location functions. The updater is a residual supply-chain risk, but the inspected source does not establish an attack or an unrelated recipient for credentials.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Starting the daemon activates periodic update checks; configuring an Nstbrowser user activates agent lookup.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized access, credential transfer, or destructive behavior was established from these paths.
Mechanism
The updater checks the package's registry version and installs a newer release. The locator runs Windows process-listing commands with the configured username filter.
AI rationale
The flagged runtime behaviors are consistent with the package's worker update and Windows agent-location functions. The updater is a residual supply-chain risk, but the inspected source does not establish an attack or an unrelated recipient for credentials.

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 exposes the CLI and daemon; its scripts are limited to start and dev, with no lifecycle hook.
- The agent username comes from the CLI argument or saved local configuration.
- The updater checks the matching package on the npm registry and installs that package when a newer version is available.
- The daemon starts the periodic updater as part of its runtime.
- The locator uses the configured username to filter Windows process listings and identify the Nstbrowser agent.
Evidence against
- The daemon can automatically install a newer package release from the registry.
- The locator interpolates the configured username into a shell command; the inspected caller takes it from CLI or saved configuration.
