## 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.1791584810255.g6e25f5ef348b4a81308780c9b5404e5bb4e23d64
- **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 flagged process execution launches Chrome, while dynamic JavaScript runs within the browser-action functionality. The inspected source shows an explicit CLI start action and token delivery to the configured HTTPS service; it does not establish an independent attack.

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 package starts Chrome and performs browser actions through its CLI client.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI with the start command.

- **Impact:** The service can direct browser actions through the connected client; inspected source did not establish a separate malicious behavior.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:07:42.704Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The client connects to its configured HTTPS service and supports executing JavaScript for browser actions.

- **Rationale:** The flagged process execution launches Chrome, while dynamic JavaScript runs within the browser-action functionality. The inspected source shows an explicit CLI start action and token delivery to the configured HTTPS service; it does not establish an independent attack.

- **Files touched:** dist/mjs/main.mjs, 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:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package entrypoint is the browser CLI., Starting the CLI is an explicit user action., Chrome is launched from the selected executable path., Browser JavaScript is dynamically invoked as part of browser actions., The client sends its token to the configured HTTPS service origin; the default is r5d.dev.

- **Evidence against:** No concrete malicious behavior was identified in the inspected source., The flagged process launch starts Chrome, and the dynamic JavaScript execution supports the browser-control function.
