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 flagged execution and evaluation primitives are consistent with the inspected browser automation implementation. Static inspection found no concrete malicious chain; the download-and-execute hint is unsupported by the launcher source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-06T11:21:59.003Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-06T11:23:02.182Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 503 ms - **AI review time:** 61657 ms - **Total time:** 63179 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:** No confirmed attack was identified. Process execution, page JavaScript evaluation, and authenticated API requests implement the browser client's functionality. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI start command or supplying a private browser keeper configuration activates browser operations. - **Impact:** Browser automation can affect the connected profile, but inspected source establishes no covert exfiltration or malicious installation behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-06T11:23:02.182Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client launches local Chrome and dispatches browser actions; dynamic code executes within browser pages. - **Rationale:** The flagged execution and evaluation primitives are consistent with the inspected browser automation implementation. Static inspection found no concrete malicious chain; the download-and-execute hint is unsupported by the launcher source. - **Network endpoints:** https://r5d.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency; its dependencies support browser automation., The Chrome launcher resolves an installed executable and starts it with browser arguments; no remote executable download was found., Dynamic evaluation implements the requested run\_js browser action inside page.evaluate., The CLI activates the personal browser through the start command and parsed options., Authentication uses caller configuration or r5d credentials for the configured HTTPS API origin, defaults to https://r5d.dev, and rejects redirects. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1791273966632.gce0c4adaebaeb6724d09f77a55286a80378775ed. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1791273966632.gce0c4adaebaeb6724d09f77a55286a80378775ed before allowing it.
