## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 4.5.3
- **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.

Source inspection shows browser widget initialization and conditional loading of package-aligned Prosopo dependencies. The flagged runtime import is a local bundler runtime module, and no concrete attack behavior was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-09T16:42:53.361Z

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 attack was identified in the inspected entrypoint or source. The package initializes a browser captcha widget and conditionally prefetches its provider dependencies.

- **Trigger:** Importing the published entrypoint initializes the browser widget; prefetch begins when a site key is present and start mode is not manual.

- **Impact:** No malicious effect or confirmed attack surface was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T16:43:28.638Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The source loads Prosopo dependencies and exposes widget methods on the browser window.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection shows browser widget initialization and conditional loading of package-aligned Prosopo dependencies. The flagged runtime import is a local bundler runtime module, and no concrete attack behavior was found.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json points to dist/index.js and defines package exports; its scripts are build and test commands, with no install lifecycle hook., The published entrypoint imports a local bundler runtime module and package utilities; no attacker-controlled dependency bridge or remote loader is shown in the excerpt., Detector prefetch requires a site key, skips manual mode, and dynamically imports the package’s Prosopo dependencies., The source installs the documented captcha widget API on window and dispatches a readiness event.

## 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@4.5.3/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
L5: import { WidgetThemeResolver } from "./util/widgetThemeResolver.js";
L6: import { getWindowCallback } from "@prosopo/procaptcha-common";
L7: import { PROCAPTCHA_START_EVENT, StartModeEnum } from "@prosopo/types";
```

### 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

Detector prefetch requires a site key, skips manual mode, and dynamically imports the package’s Prosopo dependencies.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
const startDetectorPrefetch = (
	siteKey: string | null,
	flags: { ipv4?: boolean; ipv6?: boolean; startMode?: StartModeEnum },
): void => {
	if (!siteKey) return;
	if (flags.startMode === StartModeEnum.manual) return;
	void Promise.all([
		import("@prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless"),
		import("@prosopo/procaptcha-common"),
	])

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-bundle@4.5.3/src/index.ts>)

The source installs the documented captcha widget API on window and dispatches a readiness event.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
// set the procaptcha attribute on the window
window.procaptcha = { ready, render, reset, remove, execute, start };

// Dispatch a custom event to notify that window.procaptcha is ready
const procaptchaReadyEvent = new CustomEvent(PROCAPTCHA_READY_EV
