## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.0.194-prod.1791558700852.g74b78427e042a397fce1e77846098e7977cfc5dc
- **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 inspected behavior is activated through the CLI and aligns with controlling a persistent Chrome profile and relaying browser actions to an HTTPS r5d service. The flagged dynamic execution runs caller-supplied page code, while no package install hook or separate attack behavior was identified.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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 attack was identified. The observed process launch and dynamic execution are used by the invoked browser automation CLI.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI start command or requests a browser action.

- **Impact:** These inspected behaviors support the stated browser automation flow; no independent malicious execution or credential exfiltration path was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T12:22:18.239Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI launches Chrome and can execute caller-provided JavaScript in a browser page; it sends a bearer token to the selected HTTPS r5d origin.

- **Rationale:** The inspected behavior is activated through the CLI and aligns with controlling a persistent Chrome profile and relaying browser actions to an HTTPS r5d service. The flagged dynamic execution runs caller-supplied page code, while no package install hook or separate attack behavior was identified.

- **Files touched:** dist/mjs/chrome-launcher.mjs, dist/mjs/browser-runtime.mjs, dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json declares runtime dependencies but no install lifecycle scripts., Chrome is launched with the configured Chrome executable when the CLI runs., Dynamic code execution receives caller-supplied code and runs inside the browser page., The relay chooses a configured or default HTTPS origin and sends its bearer token to that origin.

- **Evidence against:** The package validates the relay origin as HTTPS and rejects URL credentials., Relay requests use the configured origin and disable redirects., The dynamic execution is explicitly tied to browser-page code, consistent with browser automation.
