## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.18.6
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed runtime behavior is consistent with the CLI’s update reminder and local web frontend. The scanner’s structural and network hints did not establish a concrete attack surface.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%

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 in the inspected package sources. The observed network check targets the npm registry for this package’s update information.

- **Trigger:** The update reminder runs when the interactive CLI starts; the daemon starts when the user invokes the web frontend.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports package update notices and local web service operation; no concrete malicious effect was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:51:08.252Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI checks the package’s npm dist-tag and can launch its own web daemon as a child process, recording the daemon version.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed runtime behavior is consistent with the CLI’s update reminder and local web frontend. The scanner’s structural and network hints did not establish a concrete attack surface.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/main.js, dist/web-daemon.js, dist/update-check.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/-/package/@hmharness/cli/dist-tags

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no install lifecycle hook and lists only a build script; its runtime dependencies are under the same vendor scope., dist/main.js imports the package’s CLI components and the local web-daemon helper., dist/web-daemon.js starts the CLI as a detached local web daemon and records its version for stale-daemon checks., dist/main.js calls the update reminder from the interactive frontend; dist/update-check.js checks the npm registry for this package’s version.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.18.6.

- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.

## Public findings

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

Package declares npm scripts.

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

Package source references network APIs.

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

Package source references environment variables.

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

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 5. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.6/dist/main.js>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @hmharness/cli; repositoryIdentity = hmharness; dependency = @hmharness/agent
L31: import { harmonyTools } from '@hmharness/domain-harmony';
L32: import { baseTools, buildRegistry, buildSystemPrompt, runAgentTask, strings } from '@hmharness/agent';
L33: const DIM = (s) => `\x1b[2m${s}\x1b[0m`;
```

### 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. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 9. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/web-daemon.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.6/dist/web-daemon.js>)

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

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @hmharness/cli@0.14.24
matchedIdentity = npm:QGhtaGFybmVzcy9jbGk:0.14.24
similarity = 0.556
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```

### 10. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.6/package.json>)

package.json has no install lifecycle hook and lists only a build script; its runtime dependencies are under the same vendor scope.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"scripts": {
    "build": "tsc -p tsconfig.build.json"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@hmharness/kernel": "0.9.7",
    "@hmharness/observability": "0.7.4",
    "@hmharness/evolution": "0.14.25",
    "@hmharness/domain-harmony": "0.13.8",
    "@hmharness/domai
```

### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.6/dist/main.js>)

dist/main.js imports the package’s CLI components and the local web-daemon helper.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
import { join } from 'node:path';
import { stopWebDaemon, startWebDaemon, hmhWebUp, readWebPid } from "./web-daemon.js";
import { chat, homeDir, resolveProvider, initHome, latestSession, listProviders, listSessions, loadConfig, loadTranscri
```

### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** dist/web-daemon.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.6/dist/web-daemon.js>)

dist/web-daemon.js starts the CLI as a detached local web daemon and records its version for stale-daemon checks.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
}
        catch { /* best effort */ }
    }
    return killed;
}
/** Spawn the daemon (no window, detached). Returns the pid. Records the
 *  spawning CLI's version so a later upgrade can detect the stale snapshot. */
