Universal Server.

AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. The risky primitives are aligned with a universal server CLI: loading a user app entry, running a child process for watch mode, serving static files, and making user-requested fetches.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

User runs the srvx CLI or imports server adapters.

Impact

No unconsented execution, exfiltration, persistence, or destructive behavior identified.

Mechanism

User-invoked server framework and CLI utilities

Rationale

Static inspection shows package-aligned server and CLI behavior with no lifecycle execution and no hardcoded malicious endpoint or data collection path. Dynamic imports, child_process fork, env-file reads, and fetch are user-invoked features expected for this package type.

Evidence

package.jsonbin/srvx.mjsdist/cli.mjsdist/loader.mjsdist/static.mjsdist/adapters/node.mjsdist/_chunks/_plugins.mjs

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

dist/cli.mjs uses node:child_process fork for dev/watch serve mode, requiring explicit CLI invocation.
dist/loader.mjs dynamically imports user-selected server entry files.

Evidence against

package.json has no install/postinstall lifecycle hooks; prepack is publish-time only.
bin/srvx.mjs only forwards to dist/cli.mjs when the srvx binary is run.
dist/cli.mjs fetch mode contacts only user-supplied URLs or local loaded handlers, with no hardcoded exfiltration endpoint.
dist/static.mjs only serves files under the configured static directory and checks path containment.
No credential harvesting, persistence, destructive writes, or AI-agent control-surface modification found.
