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 manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint without an install lifecycle hook, and the inspected runtime sends credentials to the resolved HTTPS r5d server for browser registration. Scanner flags map to ordinary browser automation, including a local browser-state check; no separate malicious behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T22:08:24.825Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T22:13:37.903Z - **Download time:** 2313 ms - **Static scan time:** 559 ms - **AI review time:** 310205 ms - **Total time:** 313078 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 malicious attack surface was identified in the inspected package source. The runtime implements a browser client that connects to its resolved HTTPS service. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the browser CLI or an authentication command; the manifest declares no install lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** No unrelated credential transfer, stealth execution, or install-time mutation was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T22:13:37.903Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client resolves its credential and server from caller options or configuration, environment, and default settings, then registers the browser with that server. The launcher uses installed Chrome. - **Rationale:** The manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint without an install lifecycle hook, and the inspected runtime sends credentials to the resolved HTTPS r5d server for browser registration. Scanner flags map to ordinary browser automation, including a local browser-state check; no separate malicious behavior was identified. - **Network endpoints:** https://r5d.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes a CLI entrypoint and lists dependencies without an install lifecycle hook; main.mjs handles user-invoked commands., The browser connection resolves its credential and server from caller options, configuration, environment, or the documented default; it requires HTTPS and sends the credential as a bearer token to that server’s browser registration route., The inspected evaluate call checks navigator.webdriver on a newly opened about:blank tab; navigation observation listens for events on a supplied browser page., The dependency excerpts show browser automation, protocol validation, artifact transfer, and localization modules; no unrelated credential recipient or install-time payload path was identified. - **Evidence against:** The alleged download-and-execute behavior was not found in chrome-launcher; the inspected launcher starts a locally validated Chrome executable, and its evaluate call performs a browser-state check. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792965659952.gfe09c00f8f80bcc7111ce3630535710c70d46442. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1792965659952.gfe09c00f8f80bcc7111ce3630535710c70d46442 before allowing it.
