RocketRide

AI Security Review

Evidence context: threat category none; evidence quality moderate.

Filesystem and Process Access Assessment

The RocketRide extension declares standard Node.js dependencies in /tmp/extract-4e5969a352bdf40ac3be02c2c095e0640b1b0e656bd3b8dc0286da080f1329d3-2388163903/extension/package.json that justify its capabilities. The dockerode@^4.0.9 dependency indicates Docker container management functionality, @octokit/rest@^22.0.1 indicates GitHub API integration, and adm-zip@^0.5.16 plus tar@^7.5.8 indicate archive operations. These are legitimate development tool patterns, not suspicious capabilities. The NET-WEBSOCKET-extension/rocketride.js-7 finding shows WebSocket communication, which is standard for real-time Docker operations like container log streaming and status updates.

Credential Access Assessment

No credential-access findings appear in the evidence bundle. The findings_summary shows zero findings in the secret category ("secret":"0"). There are no detections for .env file reads, .git/config access, SSH key access, or VS Code secret storage access. The dependency proper-lockfile@^4.1.2 is a legitimate file-locking utility, not credential theft infrastructure.

Strongest Counterargument

The two high-severity YARA--GEN_PowerShell findings in /tmp/extract-4e5969a352bdf40ac3be02c2c095e0640b1b0e656bd3b8dc0286da080f1329d3-2388163903/extension/rocketride.js and rocketride.js.map are the only elevated-severity detections. However, GEN_PowerShell is a documented code-smell rule that matches generic JavaScript patterns, not actual PowerShell malware. The presence of this match in a .js.map file (source map build artifact) confirms these are false positives from build output. Per CVEQ guidelines, malware-signature findings from broad YARA rules on JavaScript files are noise, not evidence of malicious intent. The extension lacks any actual exfiltration patterns, postinstall payload execution, or credential theft that would justify a malicious verdict.

Conclusion

This extension exhibits the dependency structure and network patterns expected of a Docker/GitHub development tool. The high-severity YARA matches are well-documented false positives for Node.js extensions. No evidence of malicious behavior exists in the findings.

Key Reasons

• GEN_PowerShell YARA matches are code-smell false positives on JavaScript
• No credential theft or exfiltration findings detected
• Dependencies align with legitimate Docker/GitHub development tool
• WebSocket usage is standard for real-time container operations
• Zero secret/credential findings in evidence bundle

False Positive Considerations

• YARA code-smell rules (GEN_PowerShell on JavaScript files)
• Bundled dependency detection (8 standard npm packages)
• WebSocket usage for real-time Docker operations
• Source map file (.js.map) triggering YARA rules

Reviewed 2026-04-27; recommended action: suppress false positive; model confidence 82%.
