Channel Manager worker daemon — runs on remote machines to execute video pipeline jobs
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source establishes a real remote-controlled update and file-write capability activated during normal daemon operation. It is suspicious and should be warned on, but there is no package-install trigger or proven malicious payload in this snapshot.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The daemon automatically checks for updates and runs a global npm install of channel-worker.
- At startup and every five minutes, it downloads, extracts, and replaces a browser-extension directory supplied by its server.
- A server-polled command can download any URL and write it to an arbitrary path supplied in the command payload.
- The package runs a persistent remote-command worker that controls browser profiles and loads the downloaded extension.
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The risky behaviour starts only after an explicit CLI start and configured worker token; no secret harvesting or direct exfiltration was found.
