Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No attack was identified. The CLI uploads screenshot PNGs to its configured store as part of the screenshot review workflow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T23:44:47.311Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T23:45:17.732Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 3805 ms - **AI review time:** 25600 ms - **Total time:** 30421 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 attack was identified. The CLI uploads screenshot PNGs to its configured store as part of the screenshot review workflow. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI action that processes screenshots. - **Impact:** Screenshot images are sent to the configured store; no malicious impact was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T23:45:17.732Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Screenshot bytes are posted to the configured worker URL; the inspected paths show no command-output exfiltration or install-time execution. - **Rationale:** Static source inspection found no malicious behavior. The flagged process execution belongs to the Firefox container workflow, the network requests upload screenshot images for review, and the only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly. - **Network endpoints:** https://screentests.x-cevek.workers.dev ### 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. Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines only a prepublishOnly build hook, with no install-time execution., dist/global-setup.js uses Docker to inspect and start the package's pinned Firefox container., dist/index.js uploads PNG image data to the configured screenshot store as part of screenshot processing., The CLI dispatches actions from explicit command-line arguments. - **Evidence against:** The network behavior found is screenshot storage for the package's visual review workflow; inspected code did not show command-output or credential harvesting. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cevek/screentest@0.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @cevek/screentest@0.5.0 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.
