This is Zoropsis spinimana. Not a concern.

Don’t worry, there will be no infestation. This looks like a female, so let’s just suppose she has laid eggs somewhere in your house. What will happen when the spiderlings hatch? Mother Nature will do away with most of them in a way or the other. The (very) few survivors will try to get out of your house, because these spiders are wandering predators. This implies that they have an innate territorial instinct, unlike flies, mosquitoes or any other house pest that you can think of 🙂
