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 source does not confirm the scanner's download-and-execute claim, and the browser credential flow is bound to the configured HTTPS service origin. The active, pinned @ricsam/r5d-api dependency remains unresolved, so its imported telemetry and update behavior require review before a clean verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T14:55:38.557Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T14:56:51.676Z - **Download time:** 1501 ms - **Static scan time:** 572 ms - **AI review time:** 71045 ms - **Total time:** 73119 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. Review remains unresolved because an imported runtime dependency could not be inspected. - **Trigger:** Starting the browser CLI activates imports from @ricsam/r5d-api, including telemetry and client-update modules. - **Impact:** The dependency's runtime behavior cannot be assessed from the inspected package source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/mjs/main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T14:56:51.676Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package manifest pins that dependency and the entrypoint calls its updater, but the dependency source was unavailable for review. - **Rationale:** The inspected source does not confirm the scanner's download-and-execute claim, and the browser credential flow is bound to the configured HTTPS service origin. The active, pinned @ricsam/r5d-api dependency remains unresolved, so its imported telemetry and update behavior require review before a clean verdict. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/mjs/main.mjs - **Network endpoints:** r5d.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The package depends on @ricsam/r5d-api and imports its telemetry module from the executable entrypoint; the supplied dependency inspection reports that selected dependency as unresolved., The entrypoint invokes the dependency's client update function when starting the browser client, so its behavior is part of the active runtime path., The browser code sends its bearer credential to the configured service origin and rejects non-HTTPS origins; the unresolved dependency's behavior remains unverified. - **Evidence against:** The inspected Chrome launcher starts the selected local Chrome executable with the configured launch arguments; this does not establish the scanner's claimed remote download and execution., The service requests use the configured origin and reject redirects, consistent with the browser's stated service connection. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792680702148.g46e85b17bce21511ea381f341d7d0565405568c7. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792680702148.g46e85b17bce21511ea381f341d7d0565405568c7 before allowing it.
