## 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.1792874185701.gfa03c8b6c9bf1594920639281bd33fe0844e758c
- **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 scanner’s evaluation and process-launch matches map to browser page evaluation and launching the selected Chrome binary. The inspected credential flow is origin-bound for saved credentials, and no malicious behavior was found.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No malicious attack surface was identified in the inspected source. The package provides a browser client that connects to an r5d service and launches local Chrome.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the browser CLI; no package installation hook is configured.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, remote payload execution, or other malicious impact was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T22:21:10.710Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The client sends requests to its selected r5d origin and controls a dedicated Chrome profile. Page code evaluation is exposed through the browser run\_js action.

- **Rationale:** The scanner’s evaluation and process-launch matches map to browser page evaluation and launching the selected Chrome binary. The inspected credential flow is origin-bound for saved credentials, and no malicious behavior was found.

### 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 exposes a browser CLI and declares runtime dependencies; inspection found no install-time hook., Browser requests use the selected r5d origin. Saved credentials are refused when their recorded origin differs, startup requires HTTPS, and requests reject redirects., The launcher starts the selected local Chrome executable with a separate r5d browser profile., The run\_js action evaluates code supplied as its input as part of the browser-control API., The inspected dependency excerpts cover browser automation, schema validation, protocol types, localization, and first-party r5d client functions; no malicious behavior was identified.
