## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — A third-party service receives a credential belonging to the NeetoPlaydash service.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 4.0.7
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The reporter places the NeetoPlaydash API key in Honeybadger context and sends that context with runtime error notices to Honeybadger. This is credential disclosure to a host outside the key’s service.

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The reporter can disclose its Neeto API key to Honeybadger through error notices.

- **Trigger:** Reporter initialization followed by a runtime error that reaches the error-reporting helper.

- **Impact:** A third-party service receives a credential belonging to the NeetoPlaydash service.

- **Evidence paths:** index.cjs.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T07:19:00.570Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Configuration, including the API key read from NEETO\_API\_KEY, is stored as Honeybadger context. Reportable errors trigger Honeybadger notices, which include stored context and are posted to api.honeybadger.io.

- **Attack narrative:** The reporter reads NEETO\_API\_KEY (or an explicitly supplied API key), then stores its configuration in Honeybadger context during initialization. When a reportable runtime error occurs, it creates a Honeybadger notice; stored context is merged into the notice and sent to api.honeybadger.io. This exposes the NeetoPlaydash credential to a separate service.

- **Rationale:** The reporter places the NeetoPlaydash API key in Honeybadger context and sends that context with runtime error notices to Honeybadger. This is credential disclosure to a host outside the key’s service.

- **Files touched:** index.cjs.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.honeybadger.io/v1/notices/js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The reporter reads NEETO\_API\_KEY into its configuration., On initialization, it configures Honeybadger and adds the full reporter configuration, including apiKey, to Honeybadger context., On runtime errors, the reporter adds error details to context and calls notifyAsync for reportable errors., Honeybadger merges its stored context into notices and sends notices to its configured endpoint.

- **Evidence against:** The package is a Playwright reporter for the NeetoPlaydash dashboard., Its shell command execution is used to obtain Git commit and branch metadata for reports.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @bigbinary/neeto-playwright-reporter@4.0.7.

- Avoid installing @bigbinary/neeto-playwright-reporter@4.0.7. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
