AI Security Review
scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged webhook and subprocess code has explicit test utility behavior and no confirmed unrelated credential destination.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A caller invokes the webhook API or the reporter finalizes a local test run; the oracle runs separately against a supplied Playwright clone.
Impact
No confirmed secret harvesting, unrelated credential forwarding, or malicious install-time behavior was found.
Mechanism
Webhook credentials are sent to webhook.site for its token API, while reporter subprocess execution invokes Playwright's merge-reports command in the caller's working directory.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged webhook and subprocess code has explicit test utility behavior and no confirmed unrelated credential destination.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the library through dist/index.js and lists development and test scripts, with no install lifecycle hook.
- The webhook API creates and queries webhook.site resources when its exported functions are called; it uses a caller-provided webhook.site key for that service.
- The API client defaults to api.empirical.run and allows the caller to configure its base URL.
- The local reporter runs Playwright's merge-reports command to produce local HTML and JSON reports.
- The upstream oracle runs npm tests against a supplied Playwright clone.
