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 supports a warning for conditional forwarding of existing credentials to an unrestricted operator-selected HTTPS origin. The scanner's execution findings are browser functionality, and no concrete malicious chain warrants blocking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T10:49:52.854Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T10:51:26.953Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 460 ms - **AI review time:** 92858 ms - **Total time:** 94099 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 destination can receive an existing r5d credential. This establishes conditional credential exposure, but no covert attack was identified. - **Trigger:** Run the start command with a changed base URL while an existing configuration or environment credential is available. - **Impact:** An unintended server could obtain a credential for the user's r5d account. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mjs/cli-options.mjs, dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs, dist/mjs/main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T10:51:26.953Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Destination selection and credential fallback are independent; the client sends the resulting token in an authorization header. - **Rationale:** Source supports a warning for conditional forwarding of existing credentials to an unrestricted operator-selected HTTPS origin. The scanner's execution findings are browser functionality, and no concrete malicious chain warrants blocking. - **Network endpoints:** https://r5d.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The default CLI configuration is the existing r5dctl configuration in the user's home directory., Connection credentials fall back to saved configuration and r5d environment tokens., The destination accepts any HTTPS origin selected through options, environment or configuration, without binding the credential to that origin., Requests send the selected credential as a bearer token to the selected origin., The start command activates this connection path., Flagged execution behavior launches local Chrome and evaluates requested JavaScript inside a browser page. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., The default destination is https://r5d.dev; no hidden unrelated recipient was identified., Browser automation behavior is consistent with the CLI's functionality. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1790937756490.gb31a279f9acdb65e28736a489174ca6b156fd429. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1790937756490.gb31a279f9acdb65e28736a489174ca6b156fd429 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.
