It then executes that remote script through a hosted runner or script injection. - **Trigger:** A consumer initializes the SDK; the orchestrator sends a request with trackingScript. - **Impact:** Remote code can run in a page/runner context, while browser identity, page context, and optional location are transmitted to the vendor service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/zerogpu.mjs, dist/extension/zerogpu-offscreen.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T10:56:50.492Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Server-directed remote script execution plus browser-profile collection. - **Attack narrative:** On SDK initialization, the package builds a detailed profile including user/device identifiers, URL/referrer, and optional location, then posts it to the vendor orchestrator. Runtime WebSocket requests may include trackingScript; the package passes that URL to a hosted runner or injects it as a script element, explicitly treating successful load as execution. The package also offers an explicit CLI that modifies an extension manifest for broad host access and automatic startup. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete server-directed remote-code execution path and substantial browser-context collection. Its lifecycle hook is not install-time, but that does not mitigate the runtime payload mechanism. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/zerogpu.mjs, dist/extension/zerogpu-offscreen.js - **Network endpoints:** https://devices.zerogpu.ai, https://zerogpu-browser-sdk.pages.dev/tag-runner.html ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Collects user/device identity, browser fingerprint, page URL, referrer, and optional geolocation., Posts the collected registration payload to devices.zerogpu.ai with an operator-key header., Processes server-supplied trackingScript fields from WebSocket requests., Loads and executes arbitrary HTTPS tracking scripts in a framed runner or host document., Explicit CLI init grants \ and scaffolds auto-start extension code. - **Evidence against:** No install, preinstall, or postinstall hook is present; prepublishOnly is publisher-side., The CLI mutations occur only after an explicit zerogpu init command. ## Public findings ### 1.
