## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Remote code can access the host page's DOM and same-origin browser data available to that page.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 0.3.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The SDK executes a remotely supplied tracking script in the host page or WebView. This gives the service supplying that URL code execution in the host document context.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The SDK executes a remotely supplied tracking script in the host page or WebView. This gives the service supplying that URL code execution in the host document context.

- **Trigger:** A started SDK lifecycle receives a request containing a trackingScript value.

- **Impact:** Remote code can access the host page's DOM and same-origin browser data available to that page.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/zerogpu-browser-sdk.esm.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-25T20:51:59.824Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The request dispatches to the tracking handler, which loads the supplied HTTPS URL as a script in the document.

- **Attack narrative:** After initialization, the SDK connects to its orchestrator and processes served requests. A request can contain a trackingScript URL. The package passes that URL to a handler that appends it as a script to the host document, causing remote code to run in the page or WebView context. The URL is not restricted to a fixed trusted host; only its HTTPS scheme is checked.

- **Rationale:** The package contains an active remote-script execution path driven by a service request, not merely a configurable API client or inert payload. The lack of an install hook does not remove the runtime host-context code-execution risk.

- **Network endpoints:** https://devices.zerogpu.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The SDK accepts a tracking-script value from a served request and invokes its tracking-script handler., The handler creates a script element, assigns the supplied URL, and appends it to the host document., The tracking handler is designed to execute supplied scripts in a normal page or WebView., Initialization starts the lifecycle using a baked-in ZeroGPU orchestrator endpoint.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest contains no npm install lifecycle hook., The bundled Transformers helper restricts its environment token header to Hugging Face hosts.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @zerogpu/browser-extension-sdk@0.3.0.

- Avoid installing @zerogpu/browser-extension-sdk@0.3.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
