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:** Importing and using the captcha component can fetch and execute a detector module provided by the selected captcha provider. No malicious package-controlled attack chain was confirmed.

- **Trigger:** A host page mounts the captcha component and starts bot detection.

- **Impact:** The selected provider can supply detector code that runs in the host browser context as part of captcha operation.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/customDetectBot.ts, src/detectorLoader.ts, src/detectorPrefetch.ts, src/ProcaptchaFrictionless.tsx

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T19:01:51.168Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Provider-served detector loading and captcha API requests.

- **Rationale:** The remote detector execution is an explicit, runtime captcha feature and is activated through normal component use, not installation. No exfiltration of local secrets, persistence, destructive action, or install-time mutation was found.

- **Files touched:** src/customDetectBot.ts, src/detectorLoader.ts, src/detectorPrefetch.ts, src/ProcaptchaFrictionless.tsx, package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The runtime dynamically imports an obfuscated detector script supplied by a selected captcha provider., The detector bundle is requested only during the captcha detection flow., A provider-returned URL is fetched without browser credentials as a DNS observation beacon.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install or lifecycle hooks., The package is a browser captcha component; the remote detector and provider calls are aligned with that purpose., Source strips query strings, fragments, and embedded URL credentials before reporting page URLs., No source reads local files or environment secrets at runtime, starts child processes, or writes persistence or agent configuration.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.13.19.

- Review the evidence and your use of @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.13.19 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: Dynamic Require
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** dist/detectorLoader.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.13.19/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@2.13.19/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.

### 10. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 88.0%
- **Path:** src/detectorLoader.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.13.19/src/detectorLoader.ts>)

The runtime dynamically imports an obfuscated detector script supplied by a selected captcha provider.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
* Loads a detector from a provider-served obfuscated ESM string (the per-session
 * pool bundle). Evaluated via a blob URL — the served module is self-contained
 * (no imports), so dynamic `import()` of the blob yields its default export.
 */
export const DetectorLoaderFromScript = async (
	script: string,
): Promise<DetectorType> => {
	const blob = new Blob([script], { type: "text/javascript" });
	const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
	try {
		const mod = (await import(/* @vite-ignore */ url)) as {
			default: DetectorType;
		};
		return mod.default;
```

### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 88.0%
- **Path:** src/customDetectBot.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.13.19/src/customDetectBot.ts>)

A provider-returned URL is fetched without browser credentials as a DNS observation beacon.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
// Fire-and-forget DNS observation beacon. Failures swallowed —
	// observation must never break the captcha flow.
	if (captcha.dns_url) {
		try {
			void fetch(captcha.dns_url, {
				method: "GET",
				mode: "no-cors",
				credentials: "omit",
				keepalive: true,
				cache: "no-store",
			}).catch(() => undefined);
```
