## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 9 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:** 4.1.53
- **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 flagged dynamic import and environment use are package-aligned captcha initialization, not a payload bridge. Direct inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior.

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 confirmed malicious attack surface. At browser runtime, the package mounts a captcha widget and invokes its same-vendor captcha dependency using a caller/site-provided key.

- **Trigger:** Importing the browser bundle or calling render on a captcha element.

- **Impact:** Normal captcha verification behavior; no install-time mutation, data harvesting, or concrete exfiltration is present in reviewed source.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/index.ts, src/util/configCreator.ts, src/util/widgetFactory.ts, src/util/captcha/components/bundleCaptcha.tsx

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T16:00:03.741Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** DOM captcha rendering and same-vendor detector prefetch.

- **Rationale:** The flagged dynamic import and environment use are package-aligned captcha initialization, not a payload bridge. Direct inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, src/index.ts, src/util/config.ts, src/util/configCreator.ts, src/util/widgetFactory.ts, src/util/captcha/captchaRenderer.tsx, src/util/captcha/components/bundleCaptcha.tsx, dist/index.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Runtime dynamically loads Prosopo captcha dependencies and calls prefetchDetector with site key and IP flags., The captcha component delegates challenge handling to @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Reviewed source contains no shell/process execution, eval/vm use, credential harvesting, filesystem access, or outbound URL literal., Environment variables only populate documented captcha configuration fields., Runtime effects are DOM widget mounting, event dispatch, and user/site-key-driven captcha rendering.

## Affected versions and remediation

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 3. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 4. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.1.53/dist/index.js>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @prosopo/procaptcha-bundle; repositoryIdentity = captcha; dependency = @prosopo/procaptcha-common
L4: import { WidgetThemeResolver } from "./util/widgetThemeResolver.js";
L5: import { getWindowCallback } from "@prosopo/procaptcha-common";
L6: import { at } from "@prosopo/util";
```

### 5. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 6. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 8. Low: Suspicious Dependency Evidence
- **Category:** Dependency
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** src/index.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.1.53/src/index.ts>)

Runtime dynamically loads Prosopo captcha dependencies and calls prefetchDetector with site key and IP flags.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
if (!siteKey) return;
	void Promise.all([
		import("@prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless"),
		import("@prosopo/procaptcha-common"),
	])
		.then(([frictionless, common]) => {
			frictionless.prefetchDetector(
				process.env.PROSOPO_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT as EnvironmentTypes,
				common.pickIpMode(flags),
				siteKey,
			);
		})
		.catch(() => undefined);
```

### 9. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** src/util/captcha/components/bundleCaptcha.tsx
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.1.53/src/util/captcha/components/bundleCaptcha.tsx>)

The captcha component delegates challenge handling to @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
return (
		<ProcaptchaFrictionless
			key={componentKey}
			config={config}
			callbacks={getDefaultEvents(callbacks)}
			restart={restart}
			i18n={i18n}
			container={container}
		/>
	);
```
