- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 0.3.1
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The browser runtime can execute a remote tracking script supplied through a task field. No destination restriction is visible in the inspected path.

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:** The browser runtime can execute a remote tracking script supplied through a task field. No destination restriction is visible in the inspected path.

- **Trigger:** A task containing trackingScript reaches runtime task handling.

- **Impact:** A controlling task source could run arbitrary JavaScript in the embedding document context.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-25T21:01:23.312Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The supplied URL is assigned to a dynamically appended script element.

- **Rationale:** The unrestricted dynamic script-loading path is a dangerous remote-code-execution capability. Static inspection does not establish a specific active payload or malicious intent, so a warning is appropriate rather than a block.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The runtime loads a script element from a supplied URL., Task handling passes trackingScript into that script-loading path without an allowlist shown., The package metadata has build and publish scripts but no automatic install lifecycle hook.

- **Evidence against:** No install-time execution was identified.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @zerogpu/browser-extension-sdk@0.3.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @zerogpu/browser-extension-sdk@0.3.1 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.
