Channel Manager worker daemon — runs on remote machines to execute video pipeline jobs
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package contains a real remote code-delivery and browser-control capability, but source inspection does not establish a concrete malicious payload or unconsented install lifecycle. It should be warned rather than blocked.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The running daemon automatically checks for and globally installs the latest release of itself, then restarts it.
- It automatically downloads, extracts, and replaces a configured browser-extension directory without integrity verification.
- The daemon polls a remote control API and dispatches received browser automation commands.
- The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- These behaviours activate only after the user starts and pairs the worker; they do not run on package installation.
- Playwright script loading is restricted to existing files under the package scripts directory.
