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 flagged process execution and dynamic evaluation support the stated browser-control purpose: the CLI launches locally installed Chrome and evaluates requested code in a browser page. Credentials are sent over HTTPS to the configured r5d server, with no evidence in the inspected paths of unrelated exfiltration or concealed downloading. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T06:55:23.603Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T06:56:09.883Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 581 ms - **AI review time:** 44934 ms - **Total time:** 46280 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 attack was identified. The package connects a user-started browser client to an r5d server and provides browser-control actions. - **Trigger:** The user invokes the CLI, such as with the start command, and connects it to an r5d server. - **Impact:** No malicious behavior was identified in the inspected paths; browser actions are part of the package’s stated purpose. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T06:56:09.883Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client authenticates to the configured HTTPS origin, launches local Chrome, and handles browser actions including JavaScript execution in a page. - **Rationale:** The flagged process execution and dynamic evaluation support the stated browser-control purpose: the CLI launches locally installed Chrome and evaluates requested code in a browser page. Credentials are sent over HTTPS to the configured r5d server, with no evidence in the inspected paths of unrelated exfiltration or concealed downloading. - **Files touched:** ~/.r5d/personal-browser/\/, \/chrome-profile, \/downloads - **Network endpoints:** Configured HTTPS r5d server (default https://r5d.dev) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes a browser CLI entry point; starting the browser is an explicit command., Credentials are read for the selected r5d connection, which must use HTTPS; bearer requests go to that origin’s personal-resource routes., Chrome is launched from a locally resolved executable with a dedicated profile and local debugging port; the launcher does not download a browser., The runtime can evaluate JavaScript in a page as the browser\_run\_js action, consistent with its remote browser-control purpose., The CLI documents https://r5d.dev as its default server and supports an explicit --base-url. - **Evidence against:** Dynamic JavaScript execution and credential transport are powerful capabilities, but the inspected code uses them in the browser-control workflow and sends credentials to the configured r5d server., The scanner’s download\_execute finding is not supported by the launcher source inspected; it resolves and launches an existing Chrome executable. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793255633793.g4b35271b7ec26c19128bff21074675cb5273ed63. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793255633793.g4b35271b7ec26c19128bff21074675cb5273ed63 before allowing it.
