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 source does not establish malicious behavior, but the unavailable runtime dependency is used in core authentication and connection paths. Manual review is needed to resolve those paths. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-26T20:33:29.264Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-26T20:34:15.162Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 574 ms - **AI review time:** 44543 ms - **Total time:** 45898 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 was identified in the inspected package source. Review remains unresolved because an unavailable runtime dependency supplies core connection and authentication behavior. - **Trigger:** Using the CLI or starting the personal browser invokes the dependent APIs. - **Impact:** Credential handling and the dependent runtime behavior cannot be verified from this snapshot. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-26T20:34:15.162Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package delegates telemetry, connection resolution, login, and related behavior to @ricsam/r5d-api, whose implementation was unavailable for inspection. - **Rationale:** The source does not establish malicious behavior, but the unavailable runtime dependency is used in core authentication and connection paths. Manual review is needed to resolve those paths. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/mjs/main.mjs, dist/mjs/personal-main.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest declares the matching @ricsam/r5d-api version as a runtime dependency, and the CLI imports its telemetry, connection, login, and update APIs., The browser connection and registration code also depends on @ricsam/r5d-api; its implementation is unavailable in this snapshot, so credential handling and related behavior cannot be resolved. - **Evidence against:** The visible connection code resolves a configured connection and requires HTTPS before continuing., The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the flagged launcher source shows Chrome process setup rather than an observed remote-code download. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793046550662.g1e20eb3a5ebddc222b71147146960612fe7efa05. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793046550662.g1e20eb3a5ebddc222b71147146960612fe7efa05 before allowing it.
