verdaccio-okta-oauth@39.2.0

Verdaccio authentication plugin using Okta OAuth

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package has no automatic lifecycle execution, and its potentially sensitive npm configuration change occurs only through its explicit login CLI for a configured non-public registry. Source inspection shows no secret harvesting, exfiltration endpoint, hidden payload, or persistence beyond that user-invoked authentication flow.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A user runs the package's bin command.

Impact

It changes the user's npm authentication setting for the selected registry as part of login.

Mechanism

Local OAuth callback followed by scoped npm token configuration.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for AI clean decision

The user-invoked CLI opens an OAuth endpoint and listens on localhost for its callback.
The CLI writes an OAuth-returned token into npm configuration for the selected registry.
The distributed CLI contains the same token-configuration behavior as the TypeScript source.
The manifest declares a CLI executable at ./bin/index.js.

Evidence against

The manifest has a bin entry but no install lifecycle scripts.
The token is scoped to the configured registry and the default public npm registry is rejected.
The plugin's network requests use the configured OAuth issuer for token and user-info flows; no fixed external collection endpoint is present.
