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 runtime behavior are consistent with a browser-control CLI: it sends the configured credential to the selected HTTPS server and launches Chrome. The scanner’s evaluation match is an explicit page action, and the remote download-and-execute hint was not supported by the inspected launcher source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T12:11:36.714Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T12:12:23.850Z - **Download time:** 2046 ms - **Static scan time:** 526 ms - **AI review time:** 44563 ms - **Total time:** 47136 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 flagged credential transfer and browser evaluation are part of caller-selected browser connection and control behavior. - **Trigger:** A user starts the browser CLI or invokes a browser action. - **Impact:** No unintended credential disclosure, remote payload execution, or other concrete attack effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T12:12:23.850Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI connects to the selected HTTPS server, launches Chrome, and evaluates code only through the explicit browser action. - **Rationale:** The inspected entrypoint and runtime behavior are consistent with a browser-control CLI: it sends the configured credential to the selected HTTPS server and launches Chrome. The scanner’s evaluation match is an explicit page action, and the remote download-and-execute hint was not supported by the inspected launcher source. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest points to the CLI entrypoint and declares no lifecycle script in the inspected package.json., The CLI resolves a server and credential from caller options, configuration, or environment; the connection code requires HTTPS., Registration sends the credential to that selected server, rejects redirects, and is called when the user starts the personal browser., The launcher starts the configured Chrome executable, while the navigation observer watches page navigation events., The flagged dynamic evaluation is a named browser action that requires caller-supplied code and evaluates it in the page. - **Evidence against:** The reviewed credential flow targets the selected r5d server origin; no unrelated recipient or hidden credential transfer was found., The inspected download/execute hint did not match remote code fetching in the Chrome launcher; its process launch is for Chrome. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792411561086.g41b1019eacd11dbc4482fac6f3b83af769df60e7. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792411561086.g41b1019eacd11dbc4482fac6f3b83af769df60e7 before allowing it.
