Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The CLI enables Sentry error reporting by default, and the README does not disclose telemetry. Its configuration disables default PII and applies a sanitizer, so this is a warning-level telemetry concern rather than evidence of malicious collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T05:54:00.264Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T05:54:45.347Z - **Download time:** 768 ms - **Static scan time:** 583 ms - **AI review time:** 43731 ms - **Total time:** 45083 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:** Undisclosed runtime error telemetry is enabled by CLI commands; no other attack was identified. - **Trigger:** Running \`r5d-browser auth\` or starting the browser CLI. - **Impact:** Error events may be sent to the configured Sentry endpoint without the package documenting telemetry in its README. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mjs/main.mjs, .lpm-dependency-evidence-6a6a47f2-e190-4769-a3b6-06071ca13d81/0/npm-linux/dist/mjs/telemetry-node.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T05:54:45.347Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI discovers a Sentry configuration from the selected server or environment and initializes Sentry error reporting with a sanitization hook. - **Rationale:** The CLI enables Sentry error reporting by default, and the README does not disclose telemetry. Its configuration disables default PII and applies a sanitizer, so this is a warning-level telemetry concern rather than evidence of malicious collection. - **Network endpoints:** Sentry endpoint from server-discovered configuration or SENTRY\_DSN; exact host is configurable ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI initializes telemetry when the user runs \`auth\` or starts the browser., Telemetry setup discovers a Sentry configuration from the selected server or environment, then initializes Sentry with error integrations., Sentry is configured with \`sendDefaultPii: false\` and a sanitization hook, but the README does not disclose telemetry. - **Evidence against:** The package has no lifecycle scripts; its manifest points to a CLI entry point., The browser token is sent over HTTPS to the configured r5d server, with redirects rejected., Chrome is launched as the browser this package is designed to connect to; secret filling checks the user-authorized page origin. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793289531781.gefd293209f2c4044ce85479fc2ef81ecf26895b2. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793289531781.gefd293209f2c4044ce85479fc2ef81ecf26895b2 before allowing it.
