## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 9 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 2.13.13
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

At widget runtime, a provider response can supply JavaScript that this package imports from a blob URL. The package does not validate or pin that script in its own source.

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:** At widget runtime, a provider response can supply JavaScript that this package imports from a blob URL. The package does not validate or pin that script in its own source.

- **Trigger:** Mounting and starting the ProcaptchaFrictionless React widget.

- **Impact:** A compromised or malicious provider response could execute arbitrary code in the embedding page's origin.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/detectorLoader.js, dist/customDetectBot.js, dist/ProcaptchaFrictionless.js, package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T09:14:24.469Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** provider-served script execution through Blob and dynamic import

- **Rationale:** No malicious install hook, persistence, local harvesting, or destructive behavior is present. However, executing an unpinned provider-supplied obfuscated script in the host page is a concrete unresolved remote-code-execution risk.

- **Files touched:** dist/detectorLoader.js, dist/customDetectBot.js, dist/ProcaptchaFrictionless.js, package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Runtime accepts a provider-supplied obfuscated JavaScript string and executes it via blob dynamic import., The detector script comes from an assignment response and is invoked with the widget container and account callback., A provider-returned dns\_url is fetched without credentials as a runtime beacon.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The capability is reached only when the React frictionless component starts; import alone does not execute it., No package-source child-process use, filesystem writes, credential harvesting, or AI-agent control-surface mutation found.

## Affected versions and remediation

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Medium: Dynamic Require
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** dist/detectorLoader.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.13.13/dist/detectorLoader.js>)

Package source references dynamic require/import behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L4: * pool bundle). Evaluated via a blob URL — the served module is self-contained
L5: * (no imports), so dynamic `import()` of the blob yields its default export.
L6: */
```

### 3. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 4. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 5. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 6. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/cjs/customDetectBot.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.13.13/dist/cjs/customDetectBot.cjs>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless; repositoryIdentity = captcha; dependency = @prosopo/api
L3: let _prosopo_procaptcha_common = require("@prosopo/procaptcha-common");
L4: let _prosopo_api = require("@prosopo/api");
L5: let _prosopo_common = require("@prosopo/common");
```

### 7. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 8. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 9. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 85.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.
