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 scanner’s execution and process findings correspond to page-level browser automation and launching a validated local Chrome executable. The inspected code sends credentials to the resolved HTTPS service and shows no separate malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T21:00:32.728Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T21:02:28.462Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 518 ms - **AI review time:** 114440 ms - **Total time:** 115734 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 attack was identified. The flagged execution and process-launch behavior supports the package’s browser automation function. - **Trigger:** An operator runs the CLI start command to connect the browser client. - **Impact:** No unrelated credential recipient, install-time mutation, or other concrete attack effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T21:02:28.462Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client authenticates to its resolved HTTPS service, processes returned browser actions, and can run JavaScript in the current page through its run\_js capability. - **Rationale:** The scanner’s execution and process findings correspond to page-level browser automation and launching a validated local Chrome executable. The inspected code sends credentials to the resolved HTTPS service and shows no separate malicious behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint and contains no lifecycle script., Starting the client resolves its configured connection and requires an HTTPS origin., The request helper sends bearer credentials to routes under that same resolved origin., The client checks the returned resource identity before processing service actions; its polling, forwarding, receipt and acknowledgement callers all use that request helper., Dynamic code execution is part of the browser-page run\_js capability and is reported as an escape hatch, not run at install time., The launcher validates a local Chrome executable before spawning it, while the navigation observer watches matching main-frame navigations. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1792097540715.g2cf87b4b4b2cee3802a201ee05a3f3f2c8629640. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.194-prod.1792097540715.g2cf87b4b4b2cee3802a201ee05a3f3f2c8629640 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.
