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 source shows no install hook or unrelated collector. Runtime capture of project configuration and logs is disclosed, includes credential-key redaction, and has a documented opt-out as part of the BrowserStack service workflow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T08:25:00.166Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T08:26:20.872Z - **Download time:** 769 ms - **Static scan time:** 5271 ms - **AI review time:** 74664 ms - **Total time:** 80706 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 reviewed network activity supports the BrowserStack service’s disclosed reporting and log-upload features. - **Trigger:** During a WebdriverIO service run and cleanup; log capture can be disabled with disableAutoCaptureLogs. - **Impact:** Expected BrowserStack reporting and support data is transmitted to BrowserStack; no unrelated collector or malicious action was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T08:26:20.872Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The service collects configured project files and debug logs, redacts values under known credential keys, and sends data to BrowserStack endpoints when the relevant credentials and run context are available. - **Rationale:** The source shows no install hook or unrelated collector. Runtime capture of project configuration and logs is disclosed, includes credential-key redaction, and has a documented opt-out as part of the BrowserStack service workflow. - **Network endpoints:** api.browserstack.com, upload-observability.browserstack.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., During service setup, the package tells users that WebdriverIO config files, imported local configs, package.json, and debug logs are captured; it describes credential redaction and the disableAutoCaptureLogs opt-out., The cleanup path sends funnel data only when BrowserStack username and access key are configured., Log upload packages config files and package.json and uses BrowserStack’s upload service; the captured-file behavior is disclosed and can be disabled. - **Evidence against:** The service automatically uploads local project configuration and debug logs, which may contain project information, although the package discloses this behavior and provides an opt-out. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wdio/browserstack-service@9.42.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @wdio/browserstack-service@9.42.0 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.
