snyk@1.1308.0
⚠ Under reviewsnyk library and cli utility
AI Security Review
scanned 22d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected install path downloads the CLI from Snyk hosts and verifies its expected hash. However, an executable native artifact is loaded at runtime and its behavior remains unresolved, so the package cannot be cleared from source inspection alone.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
When the CLI loads the bundle module that calls the native loader.
Impact
The native file's initialization behavior and effects cannot be determined from the available analysis.
Mechanism
The bundle uses process.dlopen to load an ELF file; the inspected JavaScript adapter exposes a CPU information function.
AI rationale
The inspected install path downloads the CLI from Snyk hosts and verifies its expected hash. However, an executable native artifact is loaded at runtime and its behavior remains unresolved, so the package cannot be cleared from source inspection alone.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 87.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- Offline artifact analysis identifies the bundled native file as an unrecognized ELF and says its executable behavior could not be analyzed.
- The CLI bundle loads that file with process.dlopen; its inspected JavaScript adapter exports getCPUInfo, but that does not establish native initialization behavior.
- The postinstall hook invokes a bootstrap that downloads the CLI from Snyk hosts; the downloader checks the expected SHA-256 before accepting the file.
