## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.17.0
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Install metadata contains only a publish-time vite build, and runtime fetches target the integrator-configured BugCatch API for bug reports and status. Session and watch tokens stay on that same API path and are not sent to a hidden recipient.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%

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 attack surface was identified. The package is a browser bug-report SDK that sends reports only after the host calls it, to an apiBase the integrator supplies.

- **Trigger:** A host page imports the SDK and calls init or report; nothing runs at npm install.

- **Impact:** No unconsented install mutation, secret theft, or remote code execution was found in the inspected entrypoints.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T06:16:33.902Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Network calls go to the configured BugCatch API for ingest, watch, and reference lookup, using the project key and optional reporter session.

- **Rationale:** Install metadata contains only a publish-time vite build, and runtime fetches target the integrator-configured BugCatch API for bug reports and status. Session and watch tokens stay on that same API path and are not sent to a hidden recipient.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has only vite build scripts and no install lifecycle hooks or runtime dependencies., The published bundle posts bug reports to the caller-configured apiBase ingest route with the project API key., Watch tokens are stored in localStorage under a project-scoped key and used only for that project's watch API., Reference-field lookup fetches the configured apiBase and returns an empty policy when the request fails.

Browser source reuses an authenticated session to collect identity data and mutate account settings while reporting externally.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

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

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @sphoro/bugcatch-web-sdk@0.15.0
matchedIdentity = npm:[redacted]:0.15.0

```javascript
fetch(`${this.config.apiBase}/ingest/bugs`,{method:"POST",headers:{"Content-Type":"application/json","X-BugCatch-Key":this.config.apiKey,...p!=null&&p.token?{"X-BugCatch-Session":p
```

- **Path:** src/updates.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@sphoro/bugcatch-web-sdk@0.17.0/src/updates.js>)

Watch tokens are stored in localStorage under a project-scoped key and used only for that project's watch API.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
export function readToken() {
  try {
    const store = window.localStorage;
    return store?.getItem(tokenKey()) || store?.getItem(TOKEN_KEY) || null;

- **Path:** src/references.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@sphoro/bugcatch-web-sdk@0.17.0/src/references.js>)

Reference-field lookup fetches the configured apiBase and returns an empty policy when the request fails.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
export async function referenceFields({ apiBase, apiKey, projectId }) {
  const off = { policy: 'off', fields: [] };
  try {
    const res = await fetch(
