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 supports ordinary browser-client behavior and does not establish a malicious action. Because the selected ws dependency is used in the active launcher path and its source could not be inspected, the evidence is insufficient to mark the package clean. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 76.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-27T17:19:05.138Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-27T17:26:06.961Z - **Download time:** 1281 ms - **Static scan time:** 569 ms - **AI review time:** 419972 ms - **Total time:** 421823 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 identified in the inspected package source. Review is incomplete because an imported dependency used in the browser launch path is missing from the snapshot. - **Trigger:** A user starts the browser CLI, which launches the personal browser path. - **Impact:** The available source does not establish harmful behavior; the missing dependency prevents confirming its behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/mjs/chrome-launcher.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-27T17:26:06.961Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher uses the ws dependency to connect to a browser endpoint, but that dependency’s source was unavailable for inspection. - **Rationale:** The inspected source supports ordinary browser-client behavior and does not establish a malicious action. Because the selected ws dependency is used in the active launcher path and its source could not be inspected, the evidence is insufficient to mark the package clean. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 76.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest declares ws as a dependency, and the active Chrome launcher imports it., The launcher creates a WebSocket for a browser endpoint; the dependency’s source is missing from the inspected snapshot., The start command invokes the personal browser startup path., The browser resolves its credential and server from supplied flags, configuration, or environment, requires HTTPS, and sends relay requests to that resolved origin. - **Evidence against:** The inspected source did not establish an attack or an unrelated credential recipient; the review remains incomplete because the imported WebSocket dependency could not be inspected. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793121269113.g251ff68056488b47cf3a80b04bb0973e4470107f. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793121269113.g251ff68056488b47cf3a80b04bb0973e4470107f before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
