## 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:** 0.0.195-prod.1792278653548.gae1bac9bedd223be1cda345c32b8aa783bdd210c
- **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 and flagged files show browser startup, navigation observation, and an explicit browser action that evaluates supplied page code. The scanner hints do not establish a package-controlled remote payload or other concrete attack behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%

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 dynamic evaluation supports an explicit browser action, while the launcher starts Chrome.

- **Trigger:** A user starts the browser CLI and invokes a browser action.

- **Impact:** No package-controlled payload download or other concrete attack behavior was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T23:18:30.682Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The launcher starts the selected Chrome executable; the runtime can evaluate code supplied for execution in the page context.

- **Rationale:** The inspected entrypoint and flagged files show browser startup, navigation observation, and an explicit browser action that evaluates supplied page code. The scanner hints do not establish a package-controlled remote payload or other concrete attack behavior.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json points to the browser CLI entrypoint and defines no lifecycle scripts., The navigation observer matches page navigation against a supplied URL pattern., The Chrome launcher starts the locally selected Chrome executable with its launch arguments., The browser runtime accepts supplied JavaScript for execution in the page context; this is an explicit browser action.

- **Evidence against:** The scanner's remote-download and evaluation labels do not establish a package-controlled payload: the inspected launcher starts Chrome, and runtime evaluation handles code supplied to the browser action.
