## 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.1792393750386.gb3276490e1b6b422c981fb91170b66cd79b34497
- **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 manifest and runtime paths support a user-started browser connector, and the credential requests use the resolved HTTPS server origin with redirects rejected. Chrome launch, page-code evaluation, and navigation monitoring are runtime browser features; the inspected source did not establish an 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 attack was identified in the inspected source. The package provides a user-started browser client that connects to the configured r5d server and performs browser actions.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the r5d-browser CLI to start the browser client.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer or other concrete attack effect was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T07:14:18.217Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The client registers with the resolved HTTPS server, launches local Chrome, and handles browser actions, including supplied page code.

- **Rationale:** The manifest and runtime paths support a user-started browser connector, and the credential requests use the resolved HTTPS server origin with redirects rejected. Chrome launch, page-code evaluation, and navigation monitoring are runtime browser features; the inspected source did not establish an attack.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes a CLI entry and runtime dependencies; its inspected manifest contains no lifecycle script., The CLI parses user arguments and starts the browser client from its command path., Connection settings come from flags, config, or environment; the client requires an HTTPS origin and a credential., Registration sends the credential to that origin, rejects redirects, and is called with the resolved origin and token during browser startup., Chrome is launched as a local executable, and the browser runtime evaluates supplied code as part of its artifact action., The navigation observer watches page navigation events and checks requested URL patterns.
