Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 0.65.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T08:14:41.207Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T08:15:16.749Z - **Download time:** 1040 ms - **Static scan time:** 488 ms - **AI review time:** 34013 ms - **Total time:** 35542 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 identified; the reviewed network and process behavior supports the package’s Playwright testing and webhook utilities. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T08:15:16.749Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/api-worker-client.js, dist/webhook.js, dist/reporter/local-test.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.empirical.run, https://webhook.site, https://inbox.empirical.run ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @empiricalrun/playwright-utils@0.65.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @empiricalrun/playwright-utils@0.65.1 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.
