## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Browser automation and filesystem writes are tied to explicit auth/harness functions and local package state.

- **Trigger:** Explicit harness-auth command, pi extension command, or configured notification use.

- **Impact:** No unconsented install-time execution, credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation was confirmed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.ts, packages/auth/src/run-minimax-auth.ts, packages/auth/src/minimax-browser-auth.ts, harness/e2e/playwright-runner.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-13T04:01:49.048Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked MiniMax browser automation, local status storage, and harness extension commands.

- **Rationale:** Static source inspection found potentially sensitive browser automation and local profile/status handling, but these are explicit user-invoked package features. No lifecycle hook, hidden execution path, credential harvesting, exfiltration, remote code loading, or unauthorized agent-control mutation was found.

- **Files touched:** packages/auth/src/run-minimax-auth.ts, packages/auth/src/minimax-browser-auth.ts, harness/e2e/playwright-runner.ts, index.ts, package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., packages/auth/src/run-minimax-auth.ts only runs when its CLI is explicitly invoked., packages/auth/src/minimax-browser-auth.ts launches user Chrome for manual MiniMax login and writes local status/session metadata., The auth helper targets MiniMax usage pages and localhost CDP; no exfiltration endpoint was found., harness/e2e/playwright-runner.ts eval is limited to explicit E2E assertions in a Playwright page., index.ts registers package functionality with pi but shows no foreign agent-config mutation or stealth persistence.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Low: Eval
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 45.0%
- **Path:** harness/e2e/playwright-runner.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pi-harness-runtime@0.4.0/harness/e2e/playwright-runner.ts>)

Package source references a known benign dynamic code generation pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
L256: // eslint-disable-next-line no-eval
L257: return eval(String(cond)) as boolean; // eslint-disable-line
L258: }, condition);
```

### 3. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 4. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 5. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 7. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 8. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** packages/auth/src/minimax-browser-auth.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pi-harness-runtime@0.4.0/packages/auth/src/minimax-browser-auth.ts>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = pi-harness-runtime@0.3.1
matchedIdentity = npm:cGktaGFybmVzcy1ydW50aW1l:0.3.1
similarity = 0.846
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
