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. The token-forwarding path is active and its destination is not restricted to the intended service. There is no install-time execution or other concrete malware behavior in the inspected sources. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T23:07:01.055Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T23:08:25.635Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 542 ms - **AI review time:** 83021 ms - **Total time:** 84580 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:** No confirmed covert attack was identified. A locally sourced r5d credential can be forwarded to any HTTPS origin selected through command options, environment variables, or configuration. - **Trigger:** A user runs the browser command with a selected service configuration. - **Impact:** A misconfigured or attacker-controlled service origin could receive an existing r5d credential. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T23:08:25.635Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client reads a token, constructs an HTTPS request to the selected origin, and places the token in the Authorization header. - **Rationale:** The token-forwarding path is active and its destination is not restricted to the intended service. There is no install-time execution or other concrete malware behavior in the inspected sources. - **Network endpoints:** https://r5d.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a browser command entrypoint., Its service origin can come from command options, environment variables, or local configuration and is limited only to HTTPS., It obtains a token from options, environment variables, or local configuration., It sends that token as a bearer credential to the selected origin., The browser runtime can evaluate supplied JavaScript in a browser tab. - **Evidence against:** No install lifecycle hook or automatic install-time execution was found., The default origin is the package-aligned r5d.dev service. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.189-prod.1790199849874.g2f5310c3e02821d01c18340c980952a3afabc137. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.189-prod.1790199849874.g2f5310c3e02821d01c18340c980952a3afabc137 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.
