Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No malicious attack surface was identified. Flagged plugin registration and dynamic execution support animation rendering and font loading. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T20:50:47.719Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T20:53:07.738Z - **Download time:** 1300 ms - **Static scan time:** 25784 ms - **AI review time:** 112934 ms - **Total time:** 140019 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 malicious attack surface was identified. Flagged plugin registration and dynamic execution support animation rendering and font loading. - **Trigger:** Application loading of animations or WOFF2 fonts activates the inspected runtime behavior. - **Impact:** These operations provide editor functionality; inspected source establishes no credential theft, agent control mutation, or malicious installation behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T20:53:07.738Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Lottie stores expression plugins and evaluates enabled animation expressions; the font parser loads a fixed decompression dependency. - **Rationale:** The flagged locations implement animation plugins rather than agent integration, and inspected execution paths align with video editing functionality. Static inspection found no concrete malicious behavior or independent risk warranting a warning under the supplied policy. - **Network endpoints:** https://unpkg.com/wawoff2@2.0.1/build/decompress\_binding.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean. Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency; prepare invokes Husky., All four flagged bundles register Lottie expression plugins in memory, without AI-agent configuration writes., The font parser fetches a fixed, versioned WOFF2 decompressor and evaluates it when loading WOFF2 fonts., Lottie evaluates animation expressions from animation data, gated by the renderer's runExpressions setting., Searches found no child-process calls, filesystem writes, environment harvesting, cookie access, or beacon transmission. - **Evidence against:** Font decompression executes CDN-supplied JavaScript, and animation expression support evaluates code; both warrant trusted content and dependency sources. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.16.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.16.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
