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 runtime upload behavior is package-aligned, credential-bound, and includes a disable gate and redaction. No install hook or concrete malicious behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T08:37:39.632Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T08:40:33.845Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 5020 ms - **AI review time:** 168680 ms - **Total time:** 174213 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 surface was identified. Runtime log collection is associated with the BrowserStack service and has a disable option and credential checks. - **Trigger:** A configured BrowserStack service run invokes its log-upload routine. - **Impact:** No confirmed unconsented exfiltration, install-time execution, persistence, or destructive behavior was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T08:40:33.845Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The service packages selected logs and redacted configuration data for BrowserStack service reporting. - **Rationale:** The inspected runtime upload behavior is package-aligned, credential-bound, and includes a disable gate and redaction. No install hook or concrete malicious behavior was found. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes module entry points and has no install lifecycle hook., Log upload stops when automatic capture is disabled or BrowserStack credentials are absent., The service passes its configured BrowserStack credentials and configuration to the log-upload routine during a service run., Captured text is redacted for keys, PEM blocks, and URL credentials before upload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wdio/browserstack-service@9.36.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @wdio/browserstack-service@9.36.2 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.
