## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No malicious attack surface was identified. This is a browser bug-reporting SDK with configured diagnostic capture and API reporting.

- **Trigger:** No automatic install hook or import-time attack was identified; normal behavior begins when the host initializes or uses the SDK.

- **Impact:** No attack impact was identified; normal operation can submit user-created diagnostic reports to the configured API.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T13:49:28.507Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** No malicious mechanism was found; update calls use a stored report token with configured API routes.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found no lifecycle execution, shell execution, dynamic code loading, persistence, or hidden endpoint. The token handling and reporting behavior are package-aligned browser SDK functions.

- **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:3000

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest contains build and prepublish scripts only; it has no install lifecycle hook., The browser bundle is a standard UMD wrapper that exposes BugCatch., Update requests read a package-specific local token and send it only to the configured API path., Network and error capture are enabled through explicit initialization options.

- **Evidence against:** The SDK can capture browser diagnostic data and submit reports to the configured API when the host uses it.

export async function fetchMyReports({ apiBase }) {
  const token = readToken();
  if (!token) return { reporter: null, reports: [] };

  const res = await fetch(`${apiBase}/ingest/watch/reports`, {

    if (this.config.widget) this.teardown.push(mountWidget(this));

    // Only if this browser has actually filed something. A visitor who has
    // never reported has nothing to be told about, and opening a connection
    // for them would be a request on every page load that can never deliver.
