High: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** dist/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L13: import tty, { ReadStream } from 'node:tty'; L14: import require$$0, { execFileSync, ChildProcess, execFile, spawnSync, spawn } from 'node:child_process'; L15: import { createServer } from 'node:http'; ``` ### 3. High: Shell - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** dist/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references shell execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L9: import require$$4, { styleText, debuglog, stripVTControlCharacters, inspect, promisify, callbackify, aborted as aborted$1 } from 'node:util'; L10: import process$3, { stdout, stdin, platform, hrtime, execPath, execArgv } from 'node:process'; L11: import * as l from 'node:readline'; ``` ### 4.

High: Same File Env Network Execution - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** dist/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A single source file combines environment access, network access, and code or shell execution; review context before blocking. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L18525: try { L18526: await execa(packageManager || getPackageManager(), ["install"], { L18527: cwd: projectPath, ...

High: Command Output Exfiltration - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Path:** dist/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source combines command execution, command-output handling, and outbound requests; review data flow before blocking. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L10447: // If `subprocess.stdin` is destroyed before being fully written to, it is considered aborted and should throw an error. L10448: // This can happen for example when user called `subprocess.stdin.destroy()` before `subprocess.stdin.end()`. L10449: // However, Node.js calls `subprocess.stdin.destroy()` on exit for cleanup purposes. L10450: // https://github.[redacted]child_process.js#L278 L10451: // This is normal and should not throw an error. ... L10456: // The only way to detect this is to spy on `subprocess.stdin._destroy()` by wrapping it. L10457: // If `subprocess.exitCode` or `subprocess.signalCode` is set, it means `.destroy()` is being called by Node.js itself. L10458: const handleStdinDestroy = (stream, {originalStreams: [originalStdin], subprocess}) => { ``` ### 9. High: Sandbox Evasion Gated Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Path:** dist/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source gates dangerous network, credential, or execution behavior behind CI, host, platform, time, or geo fingerprint checks.
