## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack surface was identified. This browser bug-reporting SDK captures configured diagnostics and sends reports only after host initialization and report submission.

- **Trigger:** A host application calls init and then submits a report or uses report-update features.

- **Impact:** No unconsented install-time execution, persistence, credential harvesting, or confirmed exfiltration behavior was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T15:18:38.369Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The SDK uses the configured API base for report and update requests; stored watch tokens authenticate only those report API requests.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found package-aligned diagnostic capture and reporting, with no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. The bundled browser artifact is consistent with the inspected source.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Package metadata has no install lifecycle hook; its scripts are build, development, and prepublish only., Browser capture hooks are installed only during the host application's init call., Sending a bug report requires initialization and posts the assembled payload to the configured API base., Stored report-watch tokens are used only for the configured report API and are not sent when absent., Captured network URLs are redacted before buffering., The distributed browser bundle uses a localhost default API base.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L1: (function(Y,se){typeof exports=="object"&&typeof module<"u"?module.exports=se():typeof define=="function"&&define.amd?define(se):(Y=typeof globalThis<"u"?globalThis:Y||self,Y.BugCa...

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
async report({
    title, description = '', priority = 'MEDIUM', metadata = {}, attachments = [],
    references = [], context = null,
  } = {}) {
    if (!this.started) throw new Error('[BugCatch] call init() first.');

```javascript
export async function fetchMyReports({ apiBase }) {
  const token = readToken();

Captured network URLs are redacted before buffering.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
function record(buffer, { url, method, status, ms, error, slowMs }) {
  try {
    buffer.push({
      // Scrubbed before it is buffered, not before it is sent: a credential
      // that never enters the ring buffer cannot leave with a report, and
      // cannot be read back out of memory by the page either. Redact first,
      // then truncate — truncating first would split a token into something
      // no pattern recognises, and the fragment would still be a fragment of
      // a live credential.
      url: redactUrl(String(url)).slice(0, 500),
```
