Channel Manager worker daemon — runs on remote machines to execute video pipeline jobs
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an explicitly launched worker, but it provides an authenticated remote controller with unrestricted file-write and automatic code-update capabilities. No install lifecycle hook or manifest self-dependency establishes the stronger malicious install-chain threshold.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- A running daemon polls its configured API for commands and dispatches them.
- The save_file command downloads a remote URL and writes it to the command-supplied path without a path restriction.
- The automatic updater installs the latest same-named package globally and restarts the daemon.
- Startup and periodic checks replace a configured browser-extension directory with an API-downloaded archive.
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The remote-control behavior is activated only after an explicit paired start; there is no self-dependency in the manifest.
