## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 2.19.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

A runtime font-loading path downloads and executes remote JavaScript. This is an unverified remote-code-execution capability, although it is not install-time behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** A runtime font-loading path downloads and executes remote JavaScript. This is an unverified remote-code-execution capability, although it is not install-time behavior.

- **Trigger:** An application using the library loads a .woff2 font asset.

- **Impact:** A compromise or changed response at the remote endpoint can run arbitrary code in the host application's browser context.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/shotstack-studio.es.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T01:55:55.717Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Fetch remote JavaScript and execute it with Function.

- **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete remote-code execution primitive in a user-triggered font feature. It is a serious supply-chain risk but static source does not establish malicious intent or an automatic attack chain.

- **Files touched:** dist/shotstack-studio.es.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://unpkg.com/wawoff2@2.0.1/build/decompress\_binding.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** Loading a WOFF2 font invokes the decompressor loader., The loader fetches JavaScript from unpkg.com and executes the response with Function.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The execution path is limited to a browser font-loading feature; no credential harvesting or exfiltration was found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.19.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.19.0 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.
