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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:45:42.734Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:46:18.447Z - **Download time:** 1017 ms - **Static scan time:** 618 ms - **AI review time:** 34077 ms - **Total time:** 35713 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 starts a local Chrome browser and connects it to the configured r5d service. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:46:18.447Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** User-selected or default r5d state directory, including browser profile, binding, session, and run-lock files - **Network endpoints:** Configured HTTPS r5d server origin, at \`/api/personal/resources\` and its resource routes ### 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 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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793450427225.gcf121f6ce6744f273c71db4dfb9ae97a91116bfb. - Review the evidence and your use of @ricsam/r5d-browser@0.0.195-prod.1793450427225.gcf121f6ce6744f273c71db4dfb9ae97a91116bfb before allowing it.
