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 scanner's execution findings correspond to local Chrome launching and browser-page scripting. Independent source inspection establishes unrestricted forwarding of existing service credentials, warranting a warning rather than a publication block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T11:30:42.238Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T11:32:01.880Z - **Download time:** 1300 ms - **Static scan time:** 478 ms - **AI review time:** 77864 ms - **Total time:** 79642 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 covert malicious recipient or confirmed attack was identified. - **Trigger:** Run the start command with an alternate base URL while an existing credential is available. - **Impact:** An alternate server could obtain a credential intended for another r5d service. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mjs/cli-options.mjs, dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs, dist/mjs/main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T11:32:01.880Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Connection setup chooses the destination independently of the saved credential, then sends the credential as Bearer authentication. - **Rationale:** The scanner's execution findings correspond to local Chrome launching and browser-page scripting. Independent source inspection establishes unrestricted forwarding of existing service credentials, warranting a warning rather than a publication block. - **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 CLI defaults to the existing r5dctl configuration file in the user's home directory., Connection setup accepts an operator-selected HTTPS origin without a service destination allowlist., Authentication can reuse a saved configuration token or existing r5d environment credentials., The request sends that token in a Bearer authorization header to the selected origin., The explicit start command activates this connection behavior. - **Evidence against:** No npm lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency appear in package.json., The Chrome launcher starts a locally installed executable; the inspected launcher does not fetch a remote executable., Dynamic JavaScript execution occurs inside a browser page as part of the run\_js operation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1790940298432.g8969a1bb95007525e6334fe76e573971d9a31022. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1790940298432.g8969a1bb95007525e6334fe76e573971d9a31022 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.
