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. The suspicious signals are explained by production-minified browser bundles and expected authentication SDK behavior. Direct inspection found no concrete malicious chain or install-time attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-16T20:05:20.953Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-16T20:08:03.837Z - **Download time:** 1781 ms - **Static scan time:** 3778 ms - **AI review time:** 157324 ms - **Total time:** 162884 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 malicious attack surface is confirmed. On import and authentication flows, the browser SDK uses cookies, storage, fetch, and optional telemetry expected for client-side authentication. - **Trigger:** Importing the SDK and invoking Clerk authentication/payment features. - **Impact:** No install-time mutation, host-file access, credential harvesting, persistence, or unconsented code execution found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, no-rhc/index.js, dist/clerk.js, dist/clerk.mjs, dist/clerk.native.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-16T20:08:03.837Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Browser authentication client with session persistence, configured API requests, telemetry, and Stripe script support. - **Rationale:** The suspicious signals are explained by production-minified browser bundles and expected authentication SDK behavior. Direct inspection found no concrete malicious chain or install-time attack behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, README.md, no-rhc/index.js, dist/clerk.js, dist/clerk.mjs, dist/clerk.native.js - **Network endpoints:** js.stripe.com, clerk.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., Published exports point only to browser/React Native bundles., No child\_process, node:fs, native binary, or explicit eval/new Function loader was found., dist/clerk.mjs uses Function("return this") only as standard bundle global detection., Runtime code implements Clerk telemetry controls and browser session-cookie handling., README.md identifies the package as a Clerk authentication client SDK. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @clerk/clerk-js@6.25.5. - Review the evidence and your use of @clerk/clerk-js@6.25.5 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.
