AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic inspection found a browser automation CLI with expected process and page-script capabilities, but no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. Local DevTools endpoint validation limits the observed connection surface.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the r5d-browser CLI or invoking its browser operations.
Impact
No unconsented install-time execution, credential harvesting, exfiltration, or broad persistence was found.
Mechanism
It launches a configured Chrome executable and communicates through a validated loopback DevTools WebSocket; run_js operates in the selected browser page.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a module and CLI entrypoint and contains no lifecycle script.
- The Chrome launcher rejects DevTools WebSocket URLs unless they are loopback endpoints on the allocated port.
- Chrome is launched only through the launcher with a resolved executable and constructed argument array.
- Page JavaScript execution is an explicit run_js browser operation and is evaluated in the selected page context.
