Runtime exposes a token-protected local bridge for agent and tool management; no covert attack chain was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T02:15:32.894Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T02:16:34.732Z - **Download time:** 1004 ms - **Static scan time:** 1672 ms - **AI review time:** 59161 ms - **Total time:** 61838 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm installation can download Chromium and, as root on Linux, request Playwright system dependencies. Runtime exposes a token-protected local bridge for agent and tool management; no covert attack chain was confirmed. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later execution of the aws-runtime-bridge CLI/service - **Impact:** Unexpected network and system-dependency changes during installation; privileged runtime control when intentionally configured - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/index.js, dist/routes/instance.js, dist/services/tool-installer.js, dist/middleware/auth.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T02:16:34.732Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time browser bootstrap and authenticated runtime-agent control - **Rationale:** The package is not shown to be malicious, but its postinstall performs a large download and may change system dependencies under root. Treat this as a warning-level install-hook risk rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/ensure-bin-executable.mjs, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/index.js, dist/routes/instance.js, dist/services/tool-installer.js, dist/services/auto-register.js, dist/services/runtime-binding.js - **Network endpoints:** https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/playwright, https://registry.npmjs.org/aws-runtime-bridge/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs a postinstall hook., scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs downloads Chromium during install., On Linux root installs it invokes Playwright with --with-deps., dist/index.js exposes authenticated agent/tool install and process-control routes. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall only targets bundled Playwright CLI and package entry mode., No credential harvesting or covert exfiltration found., Scheduler registration requires configured credentials or environment values., Agent-tool installation routes require runtime token or panel session. ## Public findings ### 1.
