Is lodash safe?
- Node.js shell/command execution
- Node.js filesystem write/delete
lodash is an AI npm_package analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators, though 2 risky constructs are reported for review. It can: filesystem write and shell execution — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).
lodash 4.18.1
Automated static-analysis result. It can contain false positives and false negatives, and is not a claim about the intent of lodash's authors. Report a false positive.
Behavioral traits
How this component maps to the CSA agentic threat model. Descriptive — it never affects the risk score.
Findings (2)
The component can run operating-system commands or spawn processes.
var result = new regexp.constructor(regexp.source, reFlags.exec(regexp));
var uid = /[^.]+$/.exec(coreJsData && coreJsData.keys && coreJsData.keys.IE_PROTO || '');
var uid = /[^.]+$/.exec(coreJsData && coreJsData.keys && coreJsData.keys.IE_PROTO || '');
var result = new regexp.constructor(regexp.source, reFlags.exec(regexp));
separator = RegExp(separator.source, toString(reFlags.exec(separator)) + 'g');
while ((match = separator.exec(substring))) {separator = RegExp(separator.source, toString(reFlags.exec(separator)) + 'g');
while ((match = separator.exec(substring))) {Why it matters: Powerful and often legitimate — confirm the commands aren't built from untrusted input.
Fix: Confirm the command and its arguments are fully controlled and not derived from untrusted input; prefer execFile with an argument array.
The component writes or deletes files on disk.
* fs.writeFileSync(path.join(process.cwd(), 'jst.js'), '\
* fs.writeFileSync(path.join(process.cwd(), 'jst.js'), '\
Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but worth confirming the paths can't be controlled by untrusted input.
Fix: Confirm which files are written/deleted and that paths cannot be influenced by untrusted input.
