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 launches local Chrome, and the credential-bearing requests go to the selected r5d server as part of the browser connection. Registration includes host metadata, but the inspected code ties it to that user-started service flow and shows no unrelated credential destination or concealed payload execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T16:03:32.488Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T16:04:24.154Z - **Download time:** 1029 ms - **Static scan time:** 604 ms - **AI review time:** 50032 ms - **Total time:** 51666 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 an explicitly started browser client to the selected r5d server and launches local Chrome. - **Trigger:** The CLI's browser start command, or its private keeper configuration mode, starts the browser service; authentication commands run separately. - **Impact:** No malicious impact identified. The server receives browser registration details as part of the requested connection. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T16:04:24.154Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client registers with the selected server using its configured r5d credential and sends browser host metadata. The launcher spawns a locally resolved Chrome executable. - **Rationale:** The flagged process execution launches local Chrome, and the credential-bearing requests go to the selected r5d server as part of the browser connection. Registration includes host metadata, but the inspected code ties it to that user-started service flow and shows no unrelated credential destination or concealed payload execution. - **Files touched:** ~/.r5d/personal-browser/ (default browser state), ~/.r5d/browser/chrome-profile (default Chrome profile) - **Network endpoints:** r5d.dev (documented default; the server origin is configurable) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package entrypoint is a browser CLI; its start path calls the browser client after parsing command options., The CLI documents that the server and credential come from explicit options, configuration, environment variables, or the default r5d config, and says a saved credential is sent only to its issuing server., Browser registration sends its bearer credential to the selected server origin, with redirects rejected., The registration metadata includes hostname, platform, architecture, version, and browser capabilities for the connected browser service., Chrome is launched from the resolved local executable path; the flagged launcher contains no download call. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793375956620.g2b2c6d1d43c59061aae81be3289510c549e9cde0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793375956620.g2b2c6d1d43c59061aae81be3289510c549e9cde0 before allowing it.
