## 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.1792062156831.gfeaa57300f1ac943d933121c9a9a2f1472a18c46
- **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 entrypoint, credential route, relay callers, browser runtime, launcher, and navigation observer support the package’s browser-control function. The flagged evaluation runs supplied code in the page context, and the credential is sent to the configured HTTPS service origin; these facts do not establish a malicious 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 malicious attack was identified. The package connects a Chrome browser to the configured service and handles browser actions through that relay.

- **Trigger:** A user starts the browser client with its configured service and credential.

- **Impact:** The inspected code supports browser control but establishes no separate malicious effect.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T14:56:05.028Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The client sends authenticated requests to the configured HTTPS origin, receives browser actions, and performs the requested browser operations.

- **Rationale:** The inspected entrypoint, credential route, relay callers, browser runtime, launcher, and navigation observer support the package’s browser-control function. The flagged evaluation runs supplied code in the page context, and the credential is sent to the configured HTTPS service origin; these facts do not establish a malicious attack.

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

- **Network endpoints:** r5d.dev

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest points to the browser CLI entrypoint and declares no lifecycle hooks., The CLI starts the personal browser client; its origin and credential come from command-line options, environment, or client configuration, and the client requires HTTPS., The request helper sends the bearer token to that origin and rejects redirects; the cited relay callers register, poll, forward, and handle results for browser actions., The run\_js operation evaluates the supplied code in a browser page as part of the browser runtime API., The launcher starts the resolved Chrome executable with constructed launch arguments., The navigation observer matches page URLs against the supplied pattern.
