Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed attack is established in the inspected first-party paths: webhook behavior is API-invoked, telemetry is gated by the Empirical API key, and report uploads use returned signed URLs. Because the upload path imports @empiricalrun/r2-uploader and its source could not be resolved in this snapshot, the review cannot support a clean verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T06:27:52.653Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T06:29:06.471Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 497 ms - **AI review time:** 73069 ms - **Total time:** 73818 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 confirmed in the inspected first-party source. The report upload path depends on a runtime package whose source was unavailable for review. - **Trigger:** A reporter invokes report upload. - **Impact:** The upload dependency remains unverified, so the full runtime path cannot be cleared. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/reporter/presigned-upload.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T06:29:06.471Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package requests signed upload URLs and imports @empiricalrun/r2-uploader, whose behavior could not be verified from this snapshot. - **Rationale:** No confirmed attack is established in the inspected first-party paths: webhook behavior is API-invoked, telemetry is gated by the Empirical API key, and report uploads use returned signed URLs. Because the upload path imports @empiricalrun/r2-uploader and its source could not be resolved in this snapshot, the review cannot support a clean verdict. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.empirical.run ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares @empiricalrun/r2-uploader at ^0.11.5, and the report uploader imports and calls it; its source could not be resolved in this snapshot., The inspected upload code requests report upload URLs and sends report files to the returned URLs., The webhook helper selects a provider when called, while telemetry returns without sending unless EMPIRICALRUN\_API\_KEY is set and then posts to the Empirical telemetry endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The inspected manifest has no install lifecycle hook., The reviewed first-party paths show no confirmed credential theft or unrelated data transfer. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @empiricalrun/playwright-utils@0.65.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @empiricalrun/playwright-utils@0.65.0 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.
