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 dynamic evaluation is used by the browser action runtime, and the launcher starts the resolved local Chrome executable. Credential requests use the same resolved HTTPS origin, with redirects disabled; no concrete malicious behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T08:05:32.738Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T08:08:35.551Z - **Download time:** 1023 ms - **Static scan time:** 442 ms - **AI review time:** 181347 ms - **Total time:** 182813 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 connects a user-started browser client to a resolved HTTPS service, relays browser actions, and launches local Chrome. - **Trigger:** A user runs the browser CLI start command. - **Impact:** The connected service can control the selected browser workflow; inspected source does not show an unrelated credential recipient or an independent malicious chain. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T08:08:35.551Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client sends authenticated requests to its resolved service origin and applies returned browser actions, including page JavaScript execution. - **Rationale:** The flagged dynamic evaluation is used by the browser action runtime, and the launcher starts the resolved local Chrome executable. Credential requests use the same resolved HTTPS origin, with redirects disabled; no concrete malicious behavior was established. - **Network endpoints:** r5d.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes dist/mjs/main.mjs as the CLI entrypoint., The connection helper resolves the origin and credential from caller options, configuration, or environment, then requires HTTPS., Requests send the resolved bearer credential to that origin and disable redirects; inspected callers use the shared request helper for registration, polling, forwarding, and action receipts., The user-started polling loop validates relay identity before processing returned actions; run\_js evaluates action code in the selected browser page as part of the browser-control workflow., The launcher spawns the resolved local Chrome executable, and the navigation observer watches page navigation events. - **Evidence against:** The run\_js action can execute code in a browser page, giving the connected relay substantial browser-control capability; the inspected path is part of the package’s browser client workflow. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1792051159972.g11a4852341b5472cd17463dca777ba8c3a0659bb. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1792051159972.g11a4852341b5472cd17463dca777ba8c3a0659bb before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
