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 launch behavior starts Chrome, and the dynamic evaluation is a user-facing browser scripting feature. The inspected source did not substantiate the scanner’s remote download-and-execute claim or another malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T12:55:41.329Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T12:56:09.214Z - **Download time:** 1033 ms - **Static scan time:** 486 ms - **AI review time:** 26365 ms - **Total time:** 27885 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 concrete attack was identified. The package exposes browser automation, including execution of supplied JavaScript in a browser page. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the browser CLI or a caller uses the browser scripting capability. - **Impact:** The scripting capability can perform actions available to that browser page, but inspected source did not establish an attack against the consumer. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T12:56:09.214Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher starts the resolved Chrome executable; browser scripting evaluates caller-supplied code in the page. - **Rationale:** The flagged launch behavior starts Chrome, and the dynamic evaluation is a user-facing browser scripting feature. The inspected source did not substantiate the scanner’s remote download-and-execute claim or another malicious behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package entrypoint is the declared main module in dist/mjs/main.mjs., The flagged launcher starts a locally resolved Chrome executable with its launch arguments., The flagged dynamic function evaluates supplied code in a browser page and enforces limits on returned artifacts. - **Evidence against:** No inspected source showed the launcher downloading and executing remote code., The dynamic evaluation is part of an exposed browser scripting capability, not an install-time hook., No inspected evidence established credential theft or another concrete attack. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1791636584428.gbbf6067c9f1fa86844c558fa5d6fe32fcef12fb0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1791636584428.gbbf6067c9f1fa86844c558fa5d6fe32fcef12fb0 before allowing it.
