This is a privileged machine-runtime bridge with terminal, browser, and agent-configuration capabilities. Install-time behavior is limited to its CLI permission and Playwright browser provisioning; no confirmed malicious chain was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T09:30:19.107Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T09:31:16.690Z - **Download time:** 769 ms - **Static scan time:** 1833 ms - **AI review time:** 54980 ms - **Total time:** 57583 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** This is a privileged machine-runtime bridge with terminal, browser, and agent-configuration capabilities. Install-time behavior is limited to its CLI permission and Playwright browser provisioning; no confirmed malicious chain was found. - **Trigger:** npm install activates postinstall; \`awsb service install\` activates persistence; authenticated runtime use activates bridge features. - **Impact:** The package is dual-use and can establish a persistent local bridge when its documented CLI command is invoked. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, scripts/ensure-bin-executable.mjs, dist/services/cli-commands.js, dist/config.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T09:31:16.690Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Playwright provisioning plus explicit runtime/service and agent-integration management. - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious behavior was established, but the package ships high-impact machine and AI-agent integration capabilities plus an install-time browser download/system-dependency action. Warn rather than block because persistence is explicitly user-invoked and no covert attack chain was found. - **Files touched:** scripts/ensure-bin-executable.mjs, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/index.js, dist/services/cli-commands.js, dist/config.js - **Network endpoints:** https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/playwright ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** package.json postinstall runs browser setup automatically., scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs downloads Chromium and, as root on Linux, invokes Playwright --with-deps., dist/services/cli-commands.js can create systemd, launchd, or Windows services only through \`awsb service install\`., dist/config.js and cc-switch SDK support runtime configuration for Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and Acode. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall only chmods its own dist/index.js and prepares Playwright; it does not write agent-control configs., Persistence paths are gated behind an explicit CLI subcommand, documented in README.md., Network callback targets are configuration-derived; no hard-coded exfiltration host was found., No credential harvesting, covert payload execution, or foreign agent-control mutation during install was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
