AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is a browser-control CLI: it launches the chosen local Chrome executable and sends its credential only to the configured HTTPS r5d server. The scanner's download/execute and dynamic-evaluation flags correspond to local Chrome launch and browser actions, and no unrelated collection or concealed download was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the `r5d-browser` CLI, especially its `start` command; importing the CLI entry point also invokes its argument handling.
Impact
The service can control the connected browser as intended by the package; no unrelated credential destination or concealed code download was found.
Mechanism
The client resolves a user-supplied or saved server origin and credential, then sends authenticated requests to that origin and performs browser actions returned by the service.
AI rationale
The package is a browser-control CLI: it launches the chosen local Chrome executable and sends its credential only to the configured HTTPS r5d server. The scanner's download/execute and dynamic-evaluation flags correspond to local Chrome launch and browser actions, and no unrelated collection or concealed download was found.
Evidence
User-selected or default r5d state directory, including browser profile, binding, session, and run-lock files
Network endpoints1
Configured HTTPS r5d server origin, at `/api/personal/resources` and its resource routes
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package entry points are a CLI executable and module, with no install lifecycle script shown in the manifest.
- The browser connection uses credentials resolved from CLI flags, the user's config, or environment, and requires an HTTPS server origin.
- Runtime requests send the bearer token to that configured origin's personal browser API.
- The child process launched is the selected local Chrome executable, using arguments built for its browser profile.
Evidence against
- The `run_js` capability evaluates code received as a browser action, consistent with the package's remote browser-control purpose.
- The source contains networking, filesystem access, and dynamic evaluation, but the reviewed flows tie these to browser setup and user-configured service operation.
