@wdio/browserstack-service@9.39.0
WebdriverIO service for better Browserstack integration
AI Security Review
scanned 19d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged shell use checks the version of the BrowserStack CLI binary, and the outbound archive upload is directed to BrowserStack with a disable option. The manifest contains no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected source establishes no malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The service reaches its log upload path during runtime cleanup when credentials are available and auto-capture has not been disabled.
Impact
Consumer project configuration is sent to the package-aligned BrowserStack service; no unrelated recipient or malicious command behavior was established.
Mechanism
It archives logs and redacted configuration, then posts the archive with BrowserStack credentials to BrowserStack's observability endpoint.
AI rationale
The flagged shell use checks the version of the BrowserStack CLI binary, and the outbound archive upload is directed to BrowserStack with a disable option. The manifest contains no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected source establishes no malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has no install lifecycle hook; its listed scripts are build, test, and prepack tasks.
- The log uploader can be disabled through a service option or environment variable.
- Config files are collected from the WebdriverIO config and passed through sensitive-content redaction before archiving.
- The uploader sends an archive with BrowserStack credentials to the BrowserStack observability endpoint.
- The cleanup helper runs the existing CLI binary only to obtain its version.
Evidence against
- Runtime log upload includes captured configuration and package files, so it handles consumer project data; the inspected source directs it to BrowserStack and provides an effective disable option.
