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 confirmed attack surface was identified. The flagged plugin functions support animation rendering, and inspected dynamic loading supports fonts and graphics. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T20:31:19.456Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T20:33:32.637Z - **Download time:** 1040 ms - **Static scan time:** 25983 ms - **AI review time:** 106156 ms - **Total time:** 133181 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 confirmed attack surface was identified. The flagged plugin functions support animation rendering, and inspected dynamic loading supports fonts and graphics. - **Trigger:** Applications import the library and invoke media or font rendering; no automatic registry-install attack was identified. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior enables video editing and font rendering; no credential theft, agent control mutation, or destructive behavior was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T20:33:32.637Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Animation plugins update in-memory rendering state, while font loaders retrieve rendering assets and a pinned decompressor. - **Rationale:** Inspected source supports ordinary video editing and rendering behavior, including the four flagged plugin locations. No concrete malicious installation, credential harvesting, exfiltration, or AI-agent configuration behavior was found. - **Network endpoints:** https://unpkg.com/wawoff2@2.0.1/build/decompress\_binding.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **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 exposes video editing bundles, has no preinstall/install/postinstall hooks or runtime self-dependency, and uses prepare for Husky., All four flagged bundle locations register Lottie expression plugins in memory; they do not configure AI agents., The font loader fetches and executes a version-pinned WOFF2 decompressor when loading WOFF2 fonts, consistent with its rendering functionality., Local file loading searches for HarfBuzz font-shaping WASM assets rather than credentials. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.16.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.16.3 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.
