The package is a privileged local runtime bridge that can configure supported AI clients and install its own service through authenticated runtime APIs or explicit CLI commands. No unconsented lifecycle mutation of foreign AI-agent controls was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T04:46:07.678Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T04:47:36.152Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 2277 ms - **AI review time:** 85431 ms - **Total time:** 88474 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The package is a privileged local runtime bridge that can configure supported AI clients and install its own service through authenticated runtime APIs or explicit CLI commands. No unconsented lifecycle mutation of foreign AI-agent controls was found. - **Trigger:** Authenticated runtime setup request, explicit awsb service command, or package postinstall. - **Impact:** Can alter configured AI-client files and create a persistent bridge service after authorized use. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/services/cli-commands.js, dist/routes/instance.js, dist/middleware/auth.js, dist/services/instance-init-service.js, dist/services/cc-switch-sdk.js, package/cc-switch-sdk/dist/services/ai-config-service.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T04:47:36.152Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-client config/MCP setup, local service management, and Playwright browser provisioning. - **Rationale:** The package has real privileged agent-extension and persistence capabilities, so it warrants a warning. Its installation behavior is package-aligned and the examined control-plane operations are authenticated or explicit, not concrete malware behavior. - **Files touched:** scripts/ensure-bin-executable.mjs, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, /etc/systemd/system/awsb.service, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.agentsworkstudio.awsb.plist, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.claude.json, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.acode/config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/playwright, https://registry.npmjs.org/aws-runtime-bridge/latest, http://127.0.0.1:${r} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall downloads and installs Playwright Chromium; root Linux path requests --with-deps., Runtime routes initialize MCP/skills and bridge config for installed AI tools., Bundled SDK writes Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and Acode config/skill paths., CLI service install creates systemd/launchd/Windows service persistence only when invoked. - **Evidence against:** Lifecycle hooks do not modify AI-agent configs or install a service., Postinstall is package-aligned browser provisioning, opt-out via AWS\_BRIDGE\_SKIP\_PLAYWRIGHT\_INSTALL., Runtime config-mutating routes require a runtime token or panel session., Observed network use is scheduler registration, localhost services, and version/browser downloads; no credential-exfiltration chain found. ## Public findings ### 1.
