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 credentials to an unrestricted configured HTTPS origin, warranting a warning. The scanner's execution findings do not establish a malicious download-and-execute chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T22:51:22.929Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T22:52:43.312Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 489 ms - **AI review time:** 79137 ms - **Total time:** 80383 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 existing r5d credential can be forwarded to a caller-selected HTTPS origin. This is conditional credential exposure; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Run r5d-browser start with an overridden base URL while an existing token remains available. - **Impact:** The selected server can receive an existing service credential. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mjs/cli-options.mjs, dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs, dist/mjs/main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T22:52:43.312Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The origin and credential are selected independently, then registration sends the credential in an authorization header without binding it to its original service. - **Rationale:** Source proves conditional forwarding of existing credentials to an unrestricted configured HTTPS origin, warranting a warning. The scanner's execution findings do not establish a malicious download-and-execute chain. - **Files touched:** config.json - **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 credential configuration is the existing r5dctl config.json., Connection setup accepts a caller-selected HTTPS origin without a service allowlist., Connection setup reuses existing environment or configuration tokens independently of the selected origin., Registration sends the selected token as Bearer authorization to that origin., The explicit start command activates the personal browser connection., Flagged execution performs Chrome process launch and browser-page evaluation, consistent with browser automation. - **Evidence against:** No npm lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency appear in package.json., The default destination is https://r5d.dev, and requests reject redirects., No hidden unrelated recipient or concrete malicious installation behavior was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1791067619004.gfa5cc46443e667ebccc04ca8eb4d46b6c42345b6. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1791067619004.gfa5cc46443e667ebccc04ca8eb4d46b6c42345b6 before allowing it.
