Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Explicit screenshot review and repair operations can send PNG screenshots to a configured remote Worker. Test setup also modifies only the package cache and configured snapshot file. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T22:41:54.320Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T22:43:37.417Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 1887 ms - **AI review time:** 100449 ms - **Total time:** 103097 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:** Explicit screenshot review and repair operations can send PNG screenshots to a configured remote Worker. Test setup also modifies only the package cache and configured snapshot file. - **Trigger:** A user accepts a screenshot in the review UI or runs the repair command; the global setup runs when configured by Vitest. - **Impact:** Screenshot contents may be disclosed to the configured Worker; no automatic install-time execution was found. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/global-setup.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T22:43:37.417Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote screenshot upload with a configured bearer token. - **Rationale:** No install hook, hidden command execution, credential harvesting, or arbitrary command-output exfiltration was found. The package nevertheless has a concrete remote screenshot-upload capability with a default third-party endpoint, so it should be warned rather than marked clean under incomplete static coverage. - **Files touched:** node\_modules/.cache/screentest/actual, node\_modules/.cache/screentest/doc.json, tests/snapshot.json - **Network endpoints:** https://screentests.x-cevek.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI can upload local screenshot PNG bytes with a bearer token to a remote Worker., The remote Worker has a built-in default endpoint and token fallback., The exported Vitest setup clears a project cache and can launch the package CLI during test runs. - **Evidence against:** package.json has only a prepublishOnly script, so registry installation does not run package code., The upload path is part of screenshot acceptance and repair commands, not an install hook., Child-process use is limited to the package CLI, Git metadata lookup, Firefox, and Docker commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cevek/screentest@0.4.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @cevek/screentest@0.4.0 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.
