alpaca

This README is an integration guide and not code; it does not contain explicit malicious constructs such as hard-coded credentials or obfuscated execution. The main security concerns are: (1) centralizing Alpaca credentials and API traffic through Membrane (third-party trust and single point of compromise); (2) encouraging global npm CLI installs without version pinning or verification (supply-chain risk); and (3) exposing high-impact financial actions with no documented human-in-the-loop controls. Overall there is no evidence of malware in the documented fragment, but there is a moderate security risk due to operational and supply-chain factors — operators should verify Membrane's security posture, pin and verify CLI installs, apply least-privilege connections, and require explicit human approval for any action that executes trades.
