## 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:** 4.2.4
- **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 no lifecycle installation hook, self-dependency, file or credential harvesting, shell execution, persistence, or direct exfiltration. The flagged environment-variable and dynamic-import use is aligned with initializing a browser captcha widget.

## Latest scan

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 initializes a browser captcha widget and delegates detector prefetching to declared captcha dependencies.

- **Trigger:** Importing the browser entry or rendering a captcha widget.

- **Impact:** It modifies only captcha-related DOM state in the host page; no package code harvests credentials, writes files, executes shells, or installs persistence.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T13:52:35.272Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Browser captcha widget initialization and provider prefetch.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle installation hook, self-dependency, file or credential harvesting, shell execution, persistence, or direct exfiltration. The flagged environment-variable and dynamic-import use is aligned with initializing a browser captcha widget.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest defines development and build commands, with no automatic install lifecycle hook., The built entry dynamically loads declared captcha-provider dependencies only when a site key is supplied.

- **Evidence against:** The entry runs browser DOM initialization on import and invokes a provider prefetch during widget rendering., Environment selection is passed to the provider dependency, so its network behavior is outside this bundle's direct implementation.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.4.

- Review the evidence and your use of @prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.4 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@4.2.4/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 Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.4/package.json>)

The manifest defines development and build commands, with no automatic install lifecycle hook.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"scripts": {
		"clean": "del-cli --verbose dist tsconfig.tsbuildinfo",
		"build": "npm run build:cross-env -- --mode ${NODE_ENV:-development}",
		"build:cross-env": "vite build --config vite.esm.config.ts",
		"build:tsc": "tsc --build --verbose",
		"build:cjs": "NODE_ENV=${NODE_ENV:-development}; vite build --config vite.cjs.config.ts --mode $NODE_ENV",
		"typecheck": "tsc --project tsconfig.types.json",
```

### 9. Low: Suspicious Dependency Evidence
- **Category:** Dependency
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.2.4/dist/index.js>)

The built entry dynamically loads declared captcha-provider dependencies only when a site key is supplied.

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);
};
```
