@testrelic/playwright-analytics@2.12.1

Playwright test analytics reporter with E2E navigation tracking, API call capture, network stats, failure diagnostics, and interactive HTML reports

AI Security Review

scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The install-time mutation is limited to the package's own configuration and includes skip conditions; the reviewed reporter and CLI behavior fits analytics and report viewing. Scanner similarity and exfiltration hints are not supported as malicious behavior by the inspected source.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Package installation runs the postinstall hook; it acts only when INIT_CWD is set, CI is not enabled, the path is outside node_modules, and the config file does not already exist.

Impact

The hook adds package-specific configuration; inspected evidence does not show unauthorized control-surface changes or command-output exfiltration.

Mechanism

The hook creates .testrelic/testrelic-config.json with the TestRelic endpoint and an environment-variable placeholder for the API key. Reporter uploads are part of the package's analytics function.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 87.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The postinstall hook is scoped to the installation project, skips CI and nested installs, and creates a package-specific configuration file only when it is absent.
The reporter uploads test-run data to the configured TestRelic service; inspected upload code does not establish command-output exfiltration.
The CLI child-process call opens a report in the platform browser using an argument array.
The fixture entrypoints load Playwright and package support code; no attack behavior was established from the reviewed entrypoints.

Evidence against

Installation automatically writes a TestRelic configuration file in the consumer project when the hook's skip conditions do not apply.
