Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected source implements explicit browser-client operations and authenticated requests to its configured service. No concrete malicious behavior or automatic lifecycle execution was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T15:24:53.209Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T15:26:00.985Z - **Download time:** 1013 ms - **Static scan time:** 529 ms - **AI review time:** 66234 ms - **Total time:** 67776 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 attack surface was identified. This is a user-invoked browser client with expected browser-control capabilities. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI with start or a private configuration path. - **Impact:** No unconsented install-time or import-time execution, credential export to an unrelated recipient, or destructive behavior was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T15:26:00.985Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client launches a dedicated Chrome profile, performs browser actions, and posts to the user-selected HTTPS service origin. - **Rationale:** The inspected source implements explicit browser-client operations and authenticated requests to its configured service. No concrete malicious behavior or automatic lifecycle execution was found. - **Network endpoints:** https://r5d.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Package metadata has standard module and CLI entrypoints and no lifecycle hook., The CLI starts its client flow only for an explicit start command or private configuration invocation., Chrome is launched as the selected executable with controlled arguments; it refuses to attach to an already open dedicated profile., The run\_js operation evaluates supplied code in the controlled browser page context., Credentials are supplied through caller options, configuration, or environment and sent only to the selected HTTPS origin. - **Evidence against:** The package can launch and automate a browser, including executing caller-supplied page scripts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.191. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.191 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.
