AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reviewed credential flow sends EMPIRICALRUN_API_KEY as bearer authentication to the package’s default Empirical API host, and the webhook operations are explicitly invoked helpers. The reported process execution is part of generating a Playwright report from caller-supplied paths.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Network requests occur when webhook helpers or API client methods are called; report merging occurs when the local test merge helper is invoked.
Impact
No automatic credential theft or unrelated account action was identified in the reviewed paths.
Mechanism
The API client sends the Empirical API key to its configured API worker, defaulting to api.empirical.run. Webhook helpers call webhook.site or the Empirical inbox service, while report merging invokes Playwright with supplied paths.
AI rationale
The reviewed credential flow sends EMPIRICALRUN_API_KEY as bearer authentication to the package’s default Empirical API host, and the webhook operations are explicitly invoked helpers. The reported process execution is part of generating a Playwright report from caller-supplied paths.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exports its library and reporter entry points; it declares no install lifecycle scripts.
- ApiWorkerClient uses EMPIRICALRUN_API_KEY as bearer auth and defaults to https://api.empirical.run, the package publisher’s service.
- Webhook creation and querying are exported helpers whose network requests occur when those functions are called.
- The local report merge runs Playwright on a caller-provided directory and writes report outputs in the caller-provided working directory.
Evidence against
- The package contains network helpers, environment variable access, and child-process execution.
