## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack surface was identified. This is a browser bug-reporting SDK whose network activity is tied to the API base supplied by the host application.

- **Trigger:** The host application initializes the SDK and explicitly submits a report or enables update watching.

- **Impact:** No unconsented execution, persistence, credential harvesting, or unrelated data export was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T13:46:28.423Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The SDK posts diagnostic reports and uses a locally stored watch token for configured API requests; captured network URLs are redacted before buffering.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found no install-time execution or malicious behavior. The browser requests and local storage use are consistent with the package's reporting functionality.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package has no install lifecycle hook; its only publish hook builds the distribution., The report request uses the host-configured API base., Watch tokens are read from this SDK's local storage key and sent to the configured API base., Captured network URLs are redacted before buffering., The UMD browser bundle contains the same configured watch-report request.
