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 selected provider can supply an obfuscated JavaScript detector that this package executes. No install-time or local-system attack surface was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T10:22:33.377Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T10:23:16.324Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 174 ms - **AI review time:** 42262 ms - **Total time:** 42947 ms 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 selected provider can supply an obfuscated JavaScript detector that this package executes. No install-time or local-system attack surface was found. - **Trigger:** A consumer mounts ProcaptchaFrictionless with a valid configuration. - **Impact:** The provider controls code that runs in the embedding page's browser context. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/detectorLoader.ts, src/customDetectBot.ts, src/ProcaptchaFrictionless.tsx - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T10:23:16.324Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Provider-supplied blob module dynamic import. - **Rationale:** The package contains a runtime remote-code execution path through an obfuscated provider-served detector. That is unresolved and security-relevant, but static inspection does not establish malicious intent or concrete harmful behavior by this release. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The widget accepts a provider response containing detectorScript and evaluates it as a JavaScript module from a blob URL., The remotely supplied script is explicitly described as obfuscated, so its runtime behavior cannot be verified from this package., Mounting the React widget automatically starts the frictionless flow, which requests the provider bundle. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The inspected source has no filesystem writes, child-process execution, environment harvesting, or AI-agent configuration changes., The explicit beacon request omits browser credentials. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.13.20. - Review the evidence and your use of @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.13.20 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## 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]() 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]() 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. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** src/customDetectBot.ts - **Public source:** [View source]() The remotely supplied script is explicitly described as obfuscated, so its runtime behavior cannot be verified from this package. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```typescript // Ask the provider for a per-session detector bundle. The detector lives ONLY // in the provider-served pool: when the provider has a populated pool it // returns the obfuscated detector (each with its own keys + inner cipher) // plus a detectorSessionId. When it cannot (no pool, network, decode, or // timeout) we have NO detector to run and there is no bundled fallback. let detectorSessionId: string | undefined; let providerDetect: DetectorType | undefined; try { // Reuse the prefetched assignment when the entry already fetched one for // this provider; otherwise issue it now. ``` ### 11. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** src/ProcaptchaFrictionless.tsx - **Public source:** [View source]() Mounting the React widget automatically starts the frictionless flow, which requests the provider bundle. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```typescript useEffect(() => { const key = `${config.account?.address ?? ""}|${config.language ?? ""}|${ config.mode ?? "" }`; if (startedForKeyRef.current === key) return; startedForKeyRef.current = key; void start(); }, [config.account?.address, config.language, config.mode]); ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 11 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 12 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 11 ### Published dependency entries - @prosopo/api 4.1.1 (Dependency) - @prosopo/common 3.1.52 (Dependency) - @prosopo/locale 3.4.0 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-common 2.12.2 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-pow 2.11.2 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-puzzle 2.11.2 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-react 2.9.118 (Dependency) - @prosopo/types 5.5.0 (Dependency) - @prosopo/widget-skeleton 2.8.6 (Dependency) - dotenv 16.4.5 (Dependency) - react 19.2.8 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.13.20 - **License:** Apache-2.0 - **Version published:** 2026-08-28T10:14:43.114Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-01T04:11:01.159Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-10-08T13:49:53.456Z - **Known versions:** 39 - **Latest version:** 2.21.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Author:** PROSOPO LIMITED - **Maintainers:** christaylor, goastler, hughparry - **Runtime engines:** npm: ^11, node: ^24 - **Artifact files:** 90 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 587,715 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
