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 hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged shell and update operations are used for local agent discovery and package-aligned updates.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The updater runs when the daemon starts; local agent discovery runs when a Windows agent user is configured.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized action, credential export, or unrelated payload execution was established.
Mechanism
The updater checks the npm registry for this package. The locator uses tasklist and netstat to find the selected user's local agent.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged shell and update operations are used for local agent discovery and package-aligned updates.
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 only start and dev scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook.
- The daemon checks npm for newer channel-worker releases and installs the named package as its update mechanism.
- The daemon starts that updater as part of its normal runtime.
- The CLI accepts an API URL and Windows agent user; the locator uses local process and port discovery for the selected user.
- The worker token is sent to the configured API client endpoint; the CLI defaults to the package dashboard.
