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. Static hints overstate package-aligned runtime features as malware. Source inspection found no install-time execution, stealth exfiltration, arbitrary remote execution chain, persistence, or destructive behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-27T13:07:15.440Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-27T13:08:00.827Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 3292 ms - **AI review time:** 41332 ms - **Total time:** 45387 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 confirmed malicious attack surface. Runtime networking, optional CLI download, and test metadata collection are aligned with the BrowserStack testing service. - **Trigger:** User configures/runs WebdriverIO with this service and applicable BrowserStack features. - **Impact:** May transmit configured test, host, and smart-selection metadata to BrowserStack during opted-in test execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, build/index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-27T13:08:00.827Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** BrowserStack test integration, observability, and optional local CLI/Percy support. - **Rationale:** Static hints overstate package-aligned runtime features as malware. Source inspection found no install-time execution, stealth exfiltration, arbitrary remote execution chain, persistence, or destructive behavior. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.browserstack.com, https://collector-observability.browserstack.com, http://127.0.0.1:5338 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hooks or bin entrypoint., build/index.js exports a WebdriverIO service; import code does not perform network I/O., CLI download/exec is invoked from service setup and is BrowserStack-specific., Host/Git metadata is only assembled for enabled smart test selection and sent to BrowserStack APIs., Loopback URL is the documented Percy local server default. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wdio/browserstack-service@9.32.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @wdio/browserstack-service@9.32.1 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.
