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. Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or confirmed attack. The credential goes to the resolved HTTPS service origin, and the flagged process, navigation, and dynamic-code behavior supports the user-started browser client. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T08:26:17.079Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T08:28:20.227Z - **Download time:** 771 ms - **Static scan time:** 503 ms - **AI review time:** 121873 ms - **Total time:** 123148 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 in the inspected source. The credentialed relay, browser controls, and page-code capability operate as part of the user-started browser client. - **Trigger:** The user runs the CLI start command with resolved connection settings. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was established; the inspected behavior provides browser control through the configured service. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T08:28:20.227Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client sends its configured credential to the resolved HTTPS origin and processes browser actions through its runtime. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or confirmed attack. The credential goes to the resolved HTTPS service origin, and the flagged process, navigation, and dynamic-code behavior supports the user-started browser client. ### 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 and runtime dependencies; the inspected manifest contains no lifecycle hook., The connection resolves the origin and credential from CLI flags, configuration, or environment, requires HTTPS, and rejects missing credentials., The request helper sends the credential only to the resolved origin; registration, polling, forwarding, and action results use that helper., The CLI starts the browser client only when the user runs the start command; its heartbeat and action loop run within that client., Navigation observation tests the supplied pattern against the page URL., Chrome’s debugging interface is bound to loopback., The run-JavaScript capability evaluates supplied code in the browser client’s page context. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792138763984.g7e9152456d26f5e2e47744ee7e8582f1c878fb2c. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792138763984.g7e9152456d26f5e2e47744ee7e8582f1c878fb2c before allowing it.
