ChromePilot CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install lifecycle hook, and the extension’s inspected token flow stays on localhost. Its potential external DevOps sinks are configuration-gated, and the package’s server config route does not provide that telemetry setting.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The CLI runs when invoked; the extension connects on startup or installation.
Impact
No automatic credential exfiltration or unrelated account action was identified.
Mechanism
The extension retrieves its token and communicates with the local server. External DevOps sinks require an enabled configuration value.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the extension’s inspected token flow stays on localhost. Its potential external DevOps sinks are configuration-gated, and the package’s server config route does not provide that telemetry setting.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has build, development, typecheck, and test scripts, with no install lifecycle hook.
- The extension obtains its session token from the local server and sends authenticated requests to localhost.
- Extension DevOps sinks are used only when enabled in configuration; the package’s config route returns error-tracking settings, not a DevOps telemetry setting.
Evidence against
- The extension requests access to all URLs and can control browser tabs, consistent with its browser automation purpose.
- The CLI can automatically check for updates when a command runs, using its updater dependency.
