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. Source inspection found no install hook or confirmed malicious behavior. The flagged launcher behavior is consistent with starting an existing Chrome installation, and registration sends credentials to the configured service origin. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T16:27:22.929Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T16:31:55.140Z - **Download time:** 2058 ms - **Static scan time:** 546 ms - **AI review time:** 269607 ms - **Total time:** 272211 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 confirmed attack surface was identified in the inspected package behavior. The launcher uses an existing Chrome executable and the navigation observer matches URLs for browser operations. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the browser command or its runtime API. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports browser automation and service registration; no unrelated credential recipient or malicious payload execution was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T16:31:55.140Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher resolves a local Chrome executable and starts it; registration sends a bearer token to the configured service origin. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install hook or confirmed malicious behavior. The flagged launcher behavior is consistent with starting an existing Chrome installation, and registration sends credentials to the configured service origin. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/mjs/chrome-launcher.mjs, dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs, dist/mjs/navigation-observer.mjs, dist/mjs/browser-runtime.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://r5d.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a browser command and declares ordinary runtime dependencies; it has no install lifecycle hook., The browser registration request sends its token to the configured service origin, and its caller passes that origin and token into registration., Chrome resolution checks an explicit path, an environment override, or standard Chrome locations; the inspected launcher source does not download a browser executable., Navigation matching is a bounded URL-pattern check, and the runtime imports browser automation components., The inspected dependency excerpts show browser automation, schema validation, locale data, and protocol code; they do not establish an attack. - **Evidence against:** Static hints flag evaluation and downloading, but the inspected launcher source resolves an existing Chrome executable and starts it; those hints alone do not establish malicious behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792771765134.gc4cd0c42bc905565cdb047354da7ecc6ab0ef9d0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792771765134.gc4cd0c42bc905565cdb047354da7ecc6ab0ef9d0 before allowing it.
