This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected lifecycle hook performs package-aligned Chromium setup, and the upload flow sends cookies to the configured WeChat upload endpoint. Agent configuration linking occurs during explicit orchestrator task dispatch and no malicious behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T02:18:13.008Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T02:19:35.687Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 337 ms - **AI review time:** 81834 ms - **Total time:** 82679 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 inspected browser install and upload behavior support the package’s WeChat client function. - **Trigger:** Installation may run the postinstall browser setup; uploads occur when the user requests a media send. - **Impact:** No unrelated credential recipient or unconsented broad agent configuration write was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T02:19:35.687Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook installs Chrome into the package’s user data directory if absent. Uploads use the URL from WeChat’s upload configuration and send the authenticated session cookies there. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle hook performs package-aligned Chromium setup, and the upload flow sends cookies to the configured WeChat upload endpoint. Agent configuration linking occurs during explicit orchestrator task dispatch and no malicious behavior was identified. - **Files touched:** package.json, src/orchestrator.js, src/upload.js, src/cli.js, src/wechat-bro.js - **Network endpoints:** https://wx.qq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook checks for Puppeteer’s browser and installs Chrome under the package’s own user data directory if it is missing., The orchestrator writes an AGENTS.md link or copy into the configured task directory when dispatching an agent task., Uploads obtain their URL from WeChat’s upload configuration and send the session cookies with the file upload., The orchestrator is started through the explicit \`orchestrator\` CLI command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to wechat-bro@1.6.5. - Review the evidence and your use of wechat-bro@1.6.5 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.
