## 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:** 4.2.1
- **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.

Static inspection shows a browser captcha bundle whose suspicious signals are expected dynamic imports and environment-based configuration. It has no lifecycle hooks or concrete malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean

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 is established. When a site mounts the captcha, the bundle loads Prosopo captcha components and starts detector prefetching.

- **Trigger:** A host page imports the bundle or renders a Procaptcha widget with a site key.

- **Impact:** Expected captcha-provider communication and optional session correlation; no package-originated credential theft, persistence, or destructive action was found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T19:00:57.685Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Browser captcha rendering with a dependency-provided detector prefetch.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection shows a browser captcha bundle whose suspicious signals are expected dynamic imports and environment-based configuration. It has no lifecycle hooks or concrete malicious behavior.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Widget rendering triggers a Prosopo detector prefetch with the site key and IP mode., The component forwards an optional site session identifier into captcha configuration.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Source contains no file-system writes, shell execution, eval, credential harvesting, or exfiltration primitive., The prefetch and session metadata are captcha-specific runtime functions, not hidden install-time behavior., No concrete malicious endpoint or payload loader is present in the inspected package source.

## 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@4.2.1/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: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 96.0%
- **Path:** src/index.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.1/src/index.ts>)

Widget rendering triggers a Prosopo detector prefetch with the site key and IP mode.

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:** 96.0%
- **Path:** src/util/clientSession.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.1/src/util/clientSession.ts>)

The component forwards an optional site session identifier into captcha configuration.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
const sessionId =
		renderOptions?.sessionId || element.getAttribute("data-sessionid");

	if (!sessionId) {
		return;
	}

	// The provider bounds this field at INPUT_LIMITS.ID and would reject the
	// whole solution body if it were longer, so drop an oversized value here
	// rather than failing the solve over metadata.
	if (sessionId.length > INPUT_LIMITS.ID) {
		console.error(
			`Ignoring session id longer than ${INPUT_LIMITS.ID} characters`,
		);
		return;
	}

	config.clientSessionId = sessionId;
```
