Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection ties the postinstall hook to supported browser installation and the CLI to browser management. The inspected entrypoints and configuration reveal no concrete attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T15:33:03.258Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T15:37:06.536Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 32 ms - **AI review time:** 242734 ms - **Total time:** 243278 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:** No attack was identified. The install hook downloads supported browser builds into Puppeteer’s configured cache, and the CLI provides browser management. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook; browser management runs when a user invokes the CLI. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior sets up browsers for Puppeteer automation; no confirmed attack effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T15:37:06.536Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook calls Puppeteer’s browser installer with browser and cache configuration, with a configured skip-download setting that returns before installation. - **Rationale:** Source inspection ties the postinstall hook to supported browser installation and the CLI to browser management. The inspected entrypoints and configuration reveal no concrete attack behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest’s postinstall hook runs the package’s install script., The install script calls Puppeteer’s browser download routine., The routine invokes the browser installer with a browser, cache directory, and build identifier., The installer returns early when the configured global download-skip setting is enabled., The main module exports the Puppeteer Core API and initializes package configuration., The CLI delegates browser management to a browser-focused command using Puppeteer’s configured cache. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to puppeteer@25.14.0. - Review the evidence and your use of puppeteer@25.14.0 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.
