Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected package source does not establish the scanner's claimed download-and-execute behavior. Required external dependency behavior, including the update client, remains unresolved, so this review cannot verify a clean result or confirm an attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 76.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T12:03:14.661Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T12:03:52.453Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 561 ms - **AI review time:** 36215 ms - **Total time:** 37792 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 concrete attack was established in the inspected package source. The update client and other required dependency sources were unavailable, leaving behavior that matters to the CLI unresolved. - **Trigger:** Starting the CLI with automatic updates enabled, or using functionality that imports the unavailable dependencies. - **Impact:** The unresolved dependency behavior prevents a source-grounded clean verdict. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/mjs/main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T12:03:52.453Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI delegates updates to an external dependency; its update behavior could not be assessed from the available source. - **Rationale:** The inspected package source does not establish the scanner's claimed download-and-execute behavior. Required external dependency behavior, including the update client, remains unresolved, so this review cannot verify a clean result or confirm an attack. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/mjs/main.mjs, dist/mjs/chrome-launcher.mjs, dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs, dist/mjs/browser-runtime.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 76.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares @ricsam/r5d-api and playwright-core as dependencies, but their source was unavailable in the inspected package snapshot., The CLI invokes the external update client when its auto-update option is enabled., The visible Chrome launch code starts the configured Chrome executable directly., The visible connection code resolves caller or config settings and rejects non-HTTPS origins., The run\_js action evaluates code in the browser page as an explicit browser action. - **Evidence against:** The inspected Chrome launch path does not show a remote code download or shell command., The visible credential connection path requires HTTPS and resolves its origin from CLI, environment, or config inputs. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792583878375.gf25747229b85cd86fb86742a74e8373e0001786f. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792583878375.gf25747229b85cd86fb86742a74e8373e0001786f 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.
