AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is a user-started Chrome client with no install lifecycle, and its token is sent only to the configured r5d HTTPS origin. Local Chrome spawn and in-page run_js match that browser-control purpose.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the r5d-browser CLI; there is no registry install hook.
Impact
No unconsented credential theft, persistence, or foreign agent-control mutation was found.
Mechanism
The client launches a local Chrome profile and sends the r5d bearer token only to the selected HTTPS product origin.
AI rationale
The package is a user-started Chrome client with no install lifecycle, and its token is sent only to the configured r5d HTTPS origin. Local Chrome spawn and in-page run_js match that browser-control purpose.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the r5d-browser CLI bin and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts.
- Chrome is started with spawn only after the executable path is validated, and only when the launcher runs.
- Page JavaScript runs only for an explicit browser run_js action inside the controlled page.
- Account requests use a caller-selected HTTPS origin, defaulting to https://r5d.dev, with the r5d credential.
Evidence against
- Remote browser control, loopback port forwards, and run_js are powerful, but they start only after the user runs the CLI and they talk to the same product origin.
