Channel Manager worker daemon — runs on remote machines to execute video pipeline jobs
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is an explicitly launched remote worker, but its unrestricted remote file-write command and automatic extension delivery create a concrete high-impact control surface. No npm lifecycle hook or source evidence establishes an immediately malicious install chain.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The daemon accepts dashboard commands that download any supplied URL and write it to any supplied path.
- Starting the daemon automatically fetches and replaces a browser extension from the configured dashboard.
- The background updater periodically installs a newer global release of this package from npm.
- package.json has no npm install lifecycle hook.
- The risky behavior runs only after an operator starts and pairs the worker.
- The dynamic script loader restricts names to the packaged scripts directory.
