The actions are conditional but occur in automatic npm lifecycle hooks. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T10:08:42.169Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T10:10:15.817Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 34267 ms - **AI review time:** 58622 ms - **Total time:** 93648 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation can modify the host operating system and download a browser without a separate user command. The actions are conditional but occur in automatic npm lifecycle hooks. - **Trigger:** Running npm install, especially as root on Linux with missing build tools. - **Impact:** The install can update package indexes, install build or browser dependencies, and download Chromium. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/ensure-build-tools.mjs, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T10:10:15.817Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Lifecycle hooks invoke system package managers and the Playwright installer. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete high-impact lifecycle attack surface because installation can alter the operating system and fetch a browser. The inspected code does not meet the stated publish-block chain because it has no runtime registry self-dependency, obfuscation, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** scripts/ensure-build-tools.mjs, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/playwright ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package runs preinstall and postinstall hooks automatically during npm installation., On Linux as root, preinstall updates package indexes and installs compiler toolchains through the detected system package manager., Postinstall invokes Playwright to download Chromium and, as root on Linux, requests its system dependencies. - **Evidence against:** The system-package actions are conditional on Linux, root access, and missing build tools., No registry self-dependency was found; the only nested reference is a local file dependency., The inspected lifecycle code does not harvest credentials or send them to a fixed external endpoint. ## Public findings ### 1.
