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, the package downloads a detector script from a dynamically selected provider and executes it in the embedding page. This creates a provider-side supply-chain code-execution surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T11:52:59.182Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T11:54:06.330Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 362 ms - **AI review time:** 66278 ms - **Total time:** 67148 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, the package downloads a detector script from a dynamically selected provider and executes it in the embedding page. This creates a provider-side supply-chain code-execution surface. - **Trigger:** A Procaptcha frictionless detection flow starts. - **Impact:** A compromised or malicious provider can run arbitrary browser JavaScript with the embedding page's origin privileges. - **Evidence paths:** src/customDetectBot.ts, src/detectorLoader.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T11:54:06.330Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Dynamic import of provider-supplied JavaScript via blob or data URLs. - **Rationale:** This is not evidence of npm-install malware, but it deliberately executes opaque, remotely supplied code in consumer browser contexts. The behavior warrants a warning because the provider is a runtime code authority. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The widget requests a per-session detector script from a selected provider and passes it to a loader., The loader turns supplied text into blob or data JavaScript and dynamically imports it, executing provider-controlled code in the host page., The resulting module is invoked with the widget container, restart callback, and account accessor. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle hook., No package source code reads local files, spawns processes, or contains a fixed exfiltration endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.16.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.16.0 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.

High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Path:** dist/cjs/AuthenticatedBadge.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/procaptcha-common L1: let _prosopo_procaptcha_common = require("@prosopo/procaptcha-common"); L2: let _prosopo_types = require("@prosopo/types"); ``` ### 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:** 89.0% - **Path:** src/customDetectBot.ts - **Public source:** [View source]() The widget requests a per-session detector script from a selected provider and passes it to a loader. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```typescript const assigned = prefetchedResult?.assigned ?? (await withTimeout( providerApi.assignDetectorBundle(config.account.address), ASSIGN_TIMEOUT_MS, )); if (assigned.useProviderBundle && assigned.detectorScript) { // Deliberately untimed: this is a local parse + evaluate, so a timer // cannot rescue a stalled main thread — it can only throw away a bundle // we are already holding. providerDetect = await DetectorLoaderFromScript(assigned.detectorScript); detectorSessionId = assigned.detectorSessionId; } ``` ### 12. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Path:** src/detectorLoader.ts - **Public source:** [View source]() The loader turns supplied text into blob or data JavaScript and dynamically imports it, executing provider-controlled code in the host page. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```typescript const blobAttempt = (script: string): LoaderAttempt => { const url = URL.createObjectURL( new Blob([script], { type: "text/javascript" }), ); return { url, release: (): void => URL.revokeObjectURL(url) }; }; const dataAttempt = (script: string): LoaderAttempt => ({ url: `data:text/javascript;charset=utf-8,${encodeURIComponent(script)}`, release: (): void => undefined, }); /** Injection point for tests; real callers never pass this. */ export type ModuleImporter = (url: string) => Promise; const defaultImporter: ModuleImporter = (url) => import(/* @vite-ignore */ /* webpack ``` ## 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 4.2.0 (Dependency) - @prosopo/common 3.1.54 (Dependency) - @prosopo/locale 3.4.1 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-common 2.13.1 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-pow 2.12.1 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-puzzle 2.12.1 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-react 2.10.2 (Dependency) - @prosopo/types 5.8.0 (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:** 2.16.0 - **License:** Apache-2.0 - **Version published:** 2026-09-08T11:45:22.864Z - **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:** 116 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 742,786 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
