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 inspected lifecycle and entrypoint behavior is consistent with a Playwright analytics reporter: installation conditionally scaffolds its own configuration, and cloud reporting uses its service endpoint and configured credentials. Scanner flags for process execution and network access map to Git metadata collection and reporter uploads, with no concrete attack behavior found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T21:52:05.665Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T21:53:09.673Z - **Download time:** 753 ms - **Static scan time:** 3537 ms - **AI review time:** 59716 ms - **Total time:** 64008 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 attack was identified. The install hook scaffolds package-specific configuration, while reporter network and command behavior supports test analytics. - **Trigger:** Installation runs the postinstall hook; cloud uploads occur when the reporter is used with cloud reporting configured. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports local report setup and configured analytics uploads; no concrete malicious behavior was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T21:53:09.673Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook conditionally creates a project-local TestRelic config. The reporter gathers Git metadata and posts run data to its configured service using the configured API key. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle and entrypoint behavior is consistent with a Playwright analytics reporter: installation conditionally scaffolds its own configuration, and cloud reporting uses its service endpoint and configured credentials. Scanner flags for process execution and network access map to Git metadata collection and reporter uploads, with no concrete attack behavior found. - **Files touched:** .testrelic/testrelic-config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://platform.testrelic.ai/api/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook skips when the install directory is unavailable, CI is active, the path is inside node\_modules, or the config already exists; otherwise it creates a TestRelic config using the package's service endpoint., The reporter accepts an API key from the environment and checks a configured endpoint with the package's endpoint validator., Git commands collect repository metadata from the reporter's working directory; the upload code sends run data with a bearer token to the configured TestRelic service., The CommonJS bundle exports reporter and fixture utilities, and the ES module contains report and cloud upload functionality consistent with the package's analytics purpose. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall can create a project-local .testrelic configuration file during installation., Reporter code executes local Git commands and sends run data over the network when cloud reporting is used. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @testrelic/playwright-analytics@2.16.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @testrelic/playwright-analytics@2.16.2 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.
