Verdaccio authentication plugin using Okta OAuth

AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no lifecycle hook, and the flagged CLI code is consistent with user-invoked registry OAuth setup. The source similarity hint is not proof of malicious behavior, and the inspected plugin code follows the configured Okta authorization flow.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

A user invokes the CLI or Verdaccio loads the plugin.

Impact

These behaviors support registry authentication and do not establish a malicious attack surface.

Mechanism

The CLI opens authorization for the configured registry and stores the returned npm token for that registry; the plugin redirects users to its configured Okta issuer.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonsrc/cli.tsdist/cli.jssrc/index.ts

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes a CLI entrypoint and has no install lifecycle hook.
The CLI derives the registry from its argument or npm configuration and rejects the default public npm registry.
The CLI stores the OAuth-returned npm token for that selected registry; the distribution build matches the TypeScript source.
The plugin starts an OAuth authorization flow against its configured Okta issuer.
