- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.0.194-prod.1790978804883.gcdb353d09d8f56502907c31e4b50779055775603
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 scanner's execution and evaluation findings correspond to local Chrome launching and requested page scripting. Source inspection found package-aligned authentication and browser operations, with no concrete malicious chain.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed attack surface was identified. Inspected execution, authentication, and file-transfer behavior supports the browser automation client.

- **Trigger:** The user runs the start command or supplies a private keeper configuration.

- **Impact:** Browser actions can read and modify the dedicated browser session, but inspected source establishes no covert harvesting, unrelated exfiltration, or malicious installation behavior.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T00:32:10.824Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The client launches local Chrome, connects to its configured service, and executes requested browser actions; dynamic code runs in the page context.

- **Rationale:** The scanner's execution and evaluation findings correspond to local Chrome launching and requested page scripting. Source inspection found package-aligned authentication and browser operations, with no concrete malicious chain.

- **Network endpoints:** https://r5d.dev

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., The launcher starts a validated local Chrome executable; no remote executable download was found., Dynamic JavaScript evaluation implements the requested run\_js action inside a browser page., Browser connection startup is activated by the start command or explicit private configuration., Relay requests use r5d client authentication and the configured HTTPS service origin, with redirects rejected., The launcher rejects Chrome's everyday profile and uses separate browser state.
