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 captcha runtime, the package fetches an opaque detector script from a provider and executes it in the page. The provider and response-supplied beacon URLs are dynamic, so their hosts cannot be established from this snapshot. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T19:40:22.817Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T19:41:25.102Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 342 ms - **AI review time:** 61430 ms - **Total time:** 62285 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 captcha runtime, the package fetches an opaque detector script from a provider and executes it in the page. The provider and response-supplied beacon URLs are dynamic, so their hosts cannot be established from this snapshot. - **Trigger:** Rendering and starting the Procaptcha frictionless detection flow. - **Impact:** A provider-side compromise or malicious provider selection could run arbitrary browser-side code in the host page. - **Evidence paths:** src/customDetectBot.ts, src/detectorLoader.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T19:41:25.102Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Provider-supplied script is dynamically imported from blob or data URLs. - **Rationale:** This is a real remote code-execution capability, although it is aligned with the package's captcha detector design and no malicious payload is present in the package snapshot. The opaque, provider-controlled runtime code path warrants a warning rather than a publication block. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **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 dynamically selected provider., It turns the received script into a blob or data URL and dynamically imports it, executing provider-controlled code., It also sends a background request to a response-supplied URL. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The remote execution path runs only during the captcha detection flow., No package code reads local files, harvests environment values, or starts child processes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.16.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @prosopo/procaptcha-frictionless@2.16.1 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:** 86.0% - **Path:** src/customDetectBot.ts - **Public source:** [View source]() The widget requests a per-session detector script from a dynamically selected provider. 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:** 86.0% - **Path:** src/detectorLoader.ts - **Public source:** [View source]() It turns the received script into a blob or data URL and dynamically imports it, executing provider-controlled code. 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 4.2.1 (Dependency) - @prosopo/common 3.1.54 (Dependency) - @prosopo/locale 3.4.1 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-common 2.13.2 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-pow 2.12.2 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-puzzle 2.12.2 (Dependency) - @prosopo/procaptcha-react 2.10.3 (Dependency) - @prosopo/types 5.8.1 (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:** 2.16.1 - **License:** Apache-2.0 - **Version published:** 2026-09-08T19:36:53.751Z - **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:** 743,109 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
