Channel Manager worker daemon — runs on remote machines to execute video pipeline jobs
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a risky remote-management worker rather than proven malware: automatic code replacement and forceful process termination create a concrete unresolved capability. The lack of lifecycle hooks and absence of observed credential harvesting lower confidence that the package is overtly malicious.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- Starting the daemon automatically fetches and replaces a browser extension from the configured service.
- The daemon periodically installs newer releases of itself globally from the npm registry and restarts.
- On a port conflict, it can force-kill any Node process holding the configured port.
- The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook.
- The extension directory has a package-aligned default path, and the remote command dispatcher uses fixed command types.
- No source evidence shows credential harvesting, unrelated file collection, or hidden exfiltration.
