At runtime it provides authenticated agent, terminal, and workspace-control APIs. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T02:13:17.479Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T02:14:17.024Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 1446 ms - **AI review time:** 57331 ms - **Total time:** 59545 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm install downloads Chromium and may request Playwright system dependencies when run as root. At runtime it provides authenticated agent, terminal, and workspace-control APIs. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; authenticated runtime/CLI use - **Impact:** Unexpected install-time downloads/system dependency changes; powerful intended runtime control - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/middleware/auth.js, dist/routes/terminal.js, dist/services/cli-commands.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T02:14:17.024Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Playwright bootstrap plus authenticated local runtime bridge - **Rationale:** The install hook is a material, unconsented system-changing capability and the runtime is inherently powerful, warranting a warning. Its behavior is explicit and package-aligned, with authenticated routes and no concrete malicious chain found. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/routes/terminal.js, dist/services/cli-commands.js - **Network endpoints:** https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/playwright, https://registry.npmjs.org/aws-runtime-bridge/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs invokes Playwright Chromium install; root Linux uses --with-deps., dist/routes/terminal.js exposes authenticated command execution., dist/services/cli-commands.js can create persistent OS services, but only via CLI service commands. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall is transparent, skippable, and targets bundled Playwright., No credential harvesting or arbitrary exfiltration found., Runtime command/file routes require a runtime token or configured connection key., Observed registry request is only the package update check. ## Public findings ### 1.
