## 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:** 4.2.2
- **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.

Source inspection found a package-aligned browser captcha implementation with no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. The randomized build chunk naming is a non-runtime build detail and does not establish an attack chain.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-28T10:16:16.115Z

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 was found. The package runs as a browser captcha widget and conditionally prefetches its related detector module when rendered with a site key.

- **Trigger:** Importing the browser bundle or rendering a captcha widget with a site key.

- **Impact:** Expected captcha UI and detector preparation; no confirmed unconsented system mutation or exfiltration.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T10:17:10.078Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Captcha widget mounting and same-vendor detector prefetch.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found a package-aligned browser captcha implementation with no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. The randomized build chunk naming is a non-runtime build detail and does not establish an attack chain.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The bundle dynamically imports related captcha modules and starts detector prefetch only when a site key is supplied., The development build configuration randomizes browser chunk names, but it is not an install hook or runtime payload in the published entrypoint.

- **Evidence against:** package.json declares no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The runtime code is a browser captcha widget that mounts React UI, handles widget events, and exposes a window API., No credential harvesting, filesystem access, shell execution, eval, remote URL, or network client appears in the shipped runtime source., The environment variables configure captcha settings; their values are passed into a configuration object rather than collected or exfiltrated.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.2.

- Review the evidence and your use of @prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.

## 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@4.2.2/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:** 92.0%
- **Path:** src/index.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.2/src/index.ts>)

The bundle dynamically imports related captcha modules and starts detector prefetch only when a site key is supplied.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
const startDetectorPrefetch = (
	siteKey: string | null,
	flags: { ipv4?: boolean; ipv6?: boolean },
): void => {
	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: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 92.0%
- **Path:** vite.config.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.2/vite.config.ts>)

The development build configuration randomizes browser chunk names, but it is not an install hook or runtime payload in the published entrypoint.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
// Per-build opaque chunk name for the honeypot module. Re-rolled on every
// build so the emitted URL (e.g. `c8f2a1b0-<hash>.js`) doesn't leak the
// component's purpose and can't be fingerprinted by scrapers that maintain
// static URL blocklists.
const honeypotChunkName = `c${randomBytes(4).toString("hex")}`;
```
