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. Source proves conditional forwarding of existing service credentials to an unrestricted operator-selected HTTPS origin. This warrants a credential exposure warning, not a malware publication block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T17:00:09.650Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T17:01:43.075Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 468 ms - **AI review time:** 92176 ms - **Total time:** 93425 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:** An operator-selected HTTPS origin can receive an existing r5d credential. This establishes conditional credential exposure, but no confirmed malicious attack. - **Trigger:** Run the start command with a custom base URL while an existing r5d credential is available. - **Impact:** A custom server could receive a credential intended for another r5d environment. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs, dist/mjs/main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T17:01:43.075Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Endpoint selection and credential fallback are independent; the registration request forwards the credential in its authorization header. - **Rationale:** Source proves conditional forwarding of existing service credentials to an unrestricted operator-selected HTTPS origin. This warrants a credential exposure warning, not a malware publication block. - **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 connection accepts an operator-selected HTTPS origin without a service destination allowlist., Authentication can reuse existing r5d credentials from environment variables or local configuration independently of the selected origin., The request sends the selected token as a Bearer credential to the selected origin., The start command activates the personal browser connection and sends a registration request. - **Evidence against:** No npm install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency appear in package.json., Chrome launching and page JavaScript execution are consistent with the browser automation functionality., Requests reject redirects; no hidden unrelated recipient or concrete malware intent was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.193-prod.1790873622670.g6b118c2809e58c7652f8239d5a6a0e46c09ed82c. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.193-prod.1790873622670.g6b118c2809e58c7652f8239d5a6a0e46c09ed82c before allowing it.
