Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The bundle automatically loads BloomLibrary analytics and reports book metadata and reading activity without a clear disclosure in the package manifest. This is suspicious runtime telemetry, but the inspected code does not show credential theft or unrelated data collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T08:52:35.062Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T08:53:40.873Z - **Download time:** 777 ms - **Static scan time:** 1250 ms - **AI review time:** 63783 ms - **Total time:** 65811 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Undisclosed runtime analytics sends book metadata and reading activity to BloomLibrary analytics by default. - **Trigger:** When the player starts and when a book is opened or reading activity is reported; analytics is skipped only when the URL contains \`independent=false\`. - **Impact:** BloomLibrary analytics receives details about the book and the reader's activity. No credential or local file collection was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bloomPlayer.aSwt1opT.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T08:53:40.873Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bundle loads BloomLibrary's analytics script and tracks book-open and reading events with book metadata and progress metrics. - **Rationale:** The bundle automatically loads BloomLibrary analytics and reports book metadata and reading activity without a clear disclosure in the package manifest. This is suspicious runtime telemetry, but the inspected code does not show credential theft or unrelated data collection. - **Files touched:** localStorage: bloom-player-read-duration, localStorage: bloom-player-book-url - **Network endpoints:** https://bloomlibrary.org/analytics.min.js, https://bloomlibrary.org/analytics.dev.min.js, https://bloomlibrary.org/analytics.test.min.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package is a Bloom book display library, and the bundle loads analytics by default unless the URL contains \`independent=false\`., Production analytics code loads from \`https://bloomlibrary.org/analytics.min.js\`., On book open, the player tracks an event with book metadata including title, creator, publisher, book instance ID and session ID., The player records reading progress metrics such as pages read, audio and video duration, and reading duration. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the exported module is a browser library for displaying books., The bidi-like characters found in the bundle are left-to-right marks in multilingual language-name data; no bidi control characters were found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to bloom-player@2.22.0. - Review the evidence and your use of bloom-player@2.22.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
