This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed malicious attack surface was found. The package starts local screenshot-review tooling on explicit CLI or configured test-run actions; accepting a screenshot can upload that image to the configured worker. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T14:05:49.888Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T14:06:56.504Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 2637 ms - **AI review time:** 63469 ms - **Total time:** 66616 ms 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was found. The package starts local screenshot-review tooling on explicit CLI or configured test-run actions; accepting a screenshot can upload that image to the configured worker. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI or configured Vitest global setup, then accepts a screenshot in the local review UI. - **Impact:** Selected screenshots may be sent to the configured Cloudflare Worker; expected test snapshots and cache files are updated. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T14:06:56.504Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Local screenshot review, optional image upload, and explicit Docker browser daemon management. - **Rationale:** The flagged network and process primitives implement the stated screenshot-testing workflow and are user-invoked or test-configured. There is no install-time execution, credential harvesting, hidden command-output exfiltration, or remote payload execution. - **Files touched:** tests/snapshot.json, node\_modules/.cache/screentest - **Network endpoints:** https://screentests.x-cevek.workers.dev, 127.0.0.1, ws://localhost:5180/screentest-firefox ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The CLI can upload an accepted screenshot to a configured Cloudflare Worker., Its test setup deletes its screenshot cache and can launch its local review UI after diffs., The explicit \`serve\` command builds and runs a Docker Firefox daemon with host networking. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly., The upload is reached only by the local UI's accept route, then writes the selected screenshot hash to the project snapshot., The review server binds to 127.0.0.1, and child-process use is limited to Git, the package CLI, and explicit Docker commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cevek/screentest@0.3.7. - Review the evidence and your use of @cevek/screentest@0.3.7 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
