verdaccio-okta-oauth@39.1.0

Verdaccio authentication plugin using Okta OAuth

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package implements a user-invoked Verdaccio/Okta OAuth flow and has no automatic install-time execution. Its registry-scoped token setup is package-aligned and no concrete exfiltration, persistence, or payload behavior was found.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Explicit execution of the package CLI and completion of its local OAuth callback.

Impact

Configures an npm authentication token for the selected private registry.

Mechanism

Registry-scoped OAuth token configuration.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for AI clean decision

The published manifest exposes a CLI but has no install lifecycle scripts.
The source CLI, when explicitly run, writes an authentication token only for the selected registry and redirects the OAuth result.
The built CLI matches the reviewed TypeScript source.

Evidence against

No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is present.
No hard-coded remote endpoint, secret harvesting, payload download, or persistence was found.
OAuth network requests use the configured issuer and registry as part of the package function.
