## 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:** 0.19.4
- **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.

Source inspection found a package-aligned updater reached by the explicit TUI command, which installs only this CLI package from the npm registry. The scanner hints do not establish malicious behavior.

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 reviewed update behavior checks for a newer release and updates this same CLI package when the user starts its TUI.

- **Trigger:** The user runs the hmh tui command; the TUI performs its update check during startup.

- **Impact:** A newer CLI release may replace the installed CLI; no unrelated package mutation or malicious behavior was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:52:18.653Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The updater obtains the latest package version from the npm registry and launches npm to install @hmharness/cli at that version. The TUI configuration can disable automatic updating.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found a package-aligned updater reached by the explicit TUI command, which installs only this CLI package from the npm registry. The scanner hints do not establish malicious behavior.

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

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json identifies the package and points its CLI entrypoint to dist/main.js., dist/main.js invokes the TUI only for the user-requested tui command., dist/tui.js checks for updates during TUI startup; auto-update can be disabled in configuration., dist/update-check.js installs only a newer @hmharness/cli release from the npm registry. The update behavior is package-aligned and user-invoked.

## Affected versions and remediation

## 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%

### 5. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.19.4/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
L33: import { harmonyTools } from '@hmharness/domain-harmony';
L34: import { baseTools, buildRegistry, buildSystemPrompt, runAgentTask, strings } from '@hmharness/agent';
L35: 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/tui.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.19.4/dist/tui.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@0.15.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QGhtaGFybmVzcy9jbGk:0.15.0
similarity = 0.500
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```

### 10. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 91.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.19.4/package.json>)

package.json identifies the package and points its CLI entrypoint to dist/main.js.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"name": "@hmharness/cli",
  "version": "0.19.4",
  "description": "hmharness command line: one-shot tasks, an interactive REPL, a fullscreen TUI, the web frontend, and direct tool invocation.",
  "type": "module",
  "main": "dis
```

### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 91.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.19.4/dist/main.js>)

dist/main.js invokes the TUI only for the user-requested tui command.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
tui') {
        await initHome();
        // tui(yes, noWeb): inside the TTY check the TUI auto-links the web UI
        const { tui } = await import("./tui.js");
        await tui(yes, rest
```

### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 91.0%
- **Path:** dist/tui.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.19.4/dist/tui.js>)

dist/tui.js checks for updates during TUI startup; auto-update can be disabled in configuration.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
onst { createRequire } = await import('node:module');
        const current = createRequire(import.meta.url)('../package.json').version;
        if (cfg.tui?.autoUpdate === false) {
