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. Mounting the CAPTCHA can request a detector bundle from a selected provider and execute it in the browser. The executable payload is not present for static inspection or integrity verification. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T13:21:09.754Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T13:21:59.454Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 223 ms - **AI review time:** 49226 ms - **Total time:** 49700 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:** Mounting the CAPTCHA can request a detector bundle from a selected provider and execute it in the browser. The executable payload is not present for static inspection or integrity verification. - **Trigger:** Rendering the frictionless CAPTCHA and receiving a provider detector bundle. - **Impact:** A compromised or malicious provider could execute arbitrary JavaScript in the embedding page's origin. - **Evidence paths:** src/detectorLoader.ts, src/customDetectBot.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T13:21:59.454Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote JavaScript is loaded through a Blob URL and dynamic import. - **Rationale:** The package is not conclusively malicious, but it creates a concrete provider-controlled browser code-execution surface. Its lack of install hooks and package-authored harvesting lowers the likelihood of direct package malware. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** It dynamically imports executable JavaScript supplied as a provider detector bundle., The remotely supplied detector is automatically invoked during the frictionless flow., The package deliberately accepts obfuscated per-session detector code, leaving its runtime behavior outside this package snapshot. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., No package-authored credential harvesting, filesystem mutation, shell execution, or direct exfiltration was found., The network and detector flow are structurally aligned with its CAPTCHA function. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.15.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.15.0 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. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** src/customDetectBot.ts\#virtual:normalized:round1 - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 1 ``` ### 11. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** src/detectorLoader.ts - **Public source:** [View source]() It dynamically imports executable JavaScript supplied as a provider detector bundle. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```typescript export const DetectorLoaderFromScript = async ( script: string, ): Promise => { 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; } finally { URL.revokeObjectURL(url); } }; ``` ### 12. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** src/customDetectBot.ts - **Public source:** [View source]() The package deliberately accepts obfuscated per-session detector code, leaving its runtime behavior outside this package snapshot. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```typescript const detect: DetectorType = providerDetect; const detectionResult = await detect(container, restartFn, () => ext.getAccount(config), ); ``` ## 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 4.1.6 (Dependency) - @prosopo/common 3.1.54 (Dependency) - @prosopo/locale 3.4.1 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-common 2.13.0 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-pow 2.12.0 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-puzzle 2.12.0 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-react 2.10.0 (Dependency) - @prosopo/types 5.7.0 (Dependency) - @prosopo/widget-skeleton 2.8.7 (Dependency) - dotenv 16.4.5 (Dependency) - react 19.2.8 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.15.0 - **License:** Apache-2.0 - **Version published:** 2026-09-07T13:19:01.206Z - **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:** 95 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 647,407 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
