## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack surface was identified. The package is a user-invoked browser CLI that launches Chrome and performs requested browser navigation.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the r5d-browser command and invokes browser actions.

- **Impact:** No unconsented installation-time behavior, credential harvesting, or exfiltration was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T11:39:03.128Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** It launches the configured Chrome executable and uses the browser page API for navigation.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found a browser-control capability aligned with the package entry point and no malicious lifecycle or covert attack behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a user-invoked CLI and contains no lifecycle scripts., The launcher starts the resolved Chrome executable with constructed launch arguments., The browser runtime navigates only when its page-navigation method is invoked.
