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 active CLI can forward existing service credentials to an unrestricted configured HTTPS origin. This conditional dangerous capability warrants a warning rather than a publication block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T08:03:36.674Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T08:05:16.087Z - **Download time:** 770 ms - **Static scan time:** 463 ms - **AI review time:** 98179 ms - **Total time:** 99413 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:** Starting the client with an alternate HTTPS origin can expose an existing r5d credential to that origin. No covert recipient or confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Run r5d-browser start with an alternate configured origin while an existing r5d token is available. - **Impact:** Conditional disclosure of an existing r5d token to the configured server. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mjs/cli-options.mjs, dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs, dist/mjs/main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T08:05:16.087Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Endpoint selection and credential fallback are independent; the request sends bearer authorization without restricting the destination to the credential's intended service. - **Rationale:** The active CLI can forward existing service credentials to an unrestricted configured HTTPS origin. This conditional dangerous capability warrants a warning rather than a publication block. - **Network endpoints:** https://r5d.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI defaults to the existing r5dctl configuration file., Connection setup accepts any HTTPS origin from options, environment, or configuration without a service allowlist., Authentication falls back to existing r5d environment credentials or the saved configuration token., Requests send the selected token as bearer authorization to the configured origin., The start command activates this connection and browser client. - **Evidence against:** No npm lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency are declared., The default destination is https://r5d.dev, and requests reject redirects., Chrome execution uses a dedicated profile and rejects the standard personal Chrome profile. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.191-prod.1790755082246.gf3f4694014aacc595c9d50bf037817ad4cf1b39b. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.191-prod.1790755082246.gf3f4694014aacc595c9d50bf037817ad4cf1b39b before allowing it.
