Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed malicious attack surface. Runtime capabilities activate through explicit Checksum/Playwright test execution; the manifest does not install a lifecycle hook. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T23:11:13.926Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T23:12:40.451Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 8398 ms - **AI review time:** 77369 ms - **Total time:** 86525 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. Runtime capabilities activate through explicit Checksum/Playwright test execution; the manifest does not install a lifecycle hook. - **Trigger:** User runs the Checksum CLI or configured Playwright tests. - **Impact:** No unconsented install-time mutation, secret exfiltration, remote payload execution, or persistence was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, index.js, checksum-progress-reporter.js, postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T23:12:40.451Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Generated Playwright test-action execution and reporting. - **Rationale:** Static hints conflate intended, explicitly invoked Playwright test-generation functionality with malware. The unreferenced postinstall.js is concerning if manually run, but package.json contains no lifecycle hook that would execute it during installation. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Manifest has no lifecycle-script field; postinstall.js is not auto-invoked., Dynamic page-code execution is documented for explicit Checksum CLI test recovery., Worker eval executes a fixed embedded serialization worker string, not a remote response. - **Evidence against:** postinstall.js would rewrite a parent package.json and run Playwright if separately invoked., Runtime uses eval/new Function for generated Playwright locator/action expressions. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @checksum-ai/runtime@4.16.7. - Review the evidence and your use of @checksum-ai/runtime@4.16.7 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.
