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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T21:52:12.831Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T21:52:44.895Z - **Download time:** 1278 ms - **Static scan time:** 2307 ms - **AI review time:** 28478 ms - **Total time:** 32064 ms 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 malicious attack was identified in the inspected source. Installation may create the package's own configuration file in the consumer project. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T21:52:44.895Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **Rationale:** 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. - **Files touched:** .testrelic/testrelic-config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://platform.testrelic.ai/api/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @testrelic/playwright-analytics@2.12.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @testrelic/playwright-analytics@2.12.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
