## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 11 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:** 4.2.3
- **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 environment-variable and dynamic-import behavior configures and prefetches named captcha dependencies during widget rendering. The package has no registry install hook or concrete malicious behavior in the inspected source.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%

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 established. On browser use, the bundle mounts a captcha widget and may prefetch its named detector dependency.

- **Trigger:** A host page imports or loads the browser bundle and renders a Procaptcha widget.

- **Impact:** No unconsented host mutation, secret collection, or source-owned exfiltration was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T13:51:57.418Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Browser-side captcha rendering and detector prefetch.

- **Rationale:** The flagged environment-variable and dynamic-import behavior configures and prefetches named captcha dependencies during widget rendering. The package has no registry install hook or concrete malicious behavior in the inspected source.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The runtime entry point dynamically loads Prosopo captcha modules and calls their detector-prefetch API with a supplied site key., Configuration reads Prosopo environment settings, including optional server and event-store URLs., The manifest exposes browser bundle entry points and contains build/test scripts, not an install lifecycle hook.

- **Evidence against:** No install, preinstall, or postinstall hook is declared., No source-owned network endpoint, credential harvesting, filesystem access, shell execution, or dynamic code evaluation was found., The inspected code mounts and manages a browser captcha widget; the dynamic imports are named package dependencies.

## 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@4.2.3/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:** 94.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.3/dist/index.js>)

The runtime entry point dynamically loads Prosopo captcha modules and calls their detector-prefetch API with a supplied site key.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
var startDetectorPrefetch = (siteKey, flags) => {
	if (!siteKey) return;
	Promise.all([import("@prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless"), import("@prosopo/procaptcha-common")]).then(([frictionless, common]) => {
		frictionless.prefetchDetector(process.env.PROSOPO_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT, common.pickIpMode(flags), siteKey);
	}).catch(() => void 0);
```

### 9. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** src/util/configCreator.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.3/src/util/configCreator.ts>)

Configuration reads Prosopo environment settings, including optional server and event-store URLs.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
siteKey = process.env.PROSOPO_SITE_KEY || "";
	}

	return ProcaptchaConfigSchema.parse({
		defaultEnvironment: process.env.PROSOPO_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT
			? EnvironmentTypesSchema.parse(process.env.PROSOPO_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT)
			: EnvironmentTypesSchema.enum.development,
		userAccountAddress: userAccountAddress || "",
		account: {
			address: siteKey,
		},
		serverUrl: process.env.PROSOPO_SERVER_URL || "",
		mongoAtlasUri: process.env.PROSOPO_MONGO_EVENTS_URI || "",
```

### 10. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.3/package.json>)

The manifest exposes browser bundle entry points and contains build/test scripts, not an install lifecycle hook.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"name": "@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle",
	"version": "4.2.3",
	"author": "PROSOPO LIMITED <info@prosopo.io>",
	"license": "Apache-2.0",
