## 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:** 0.23.15
- **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 no install-time attack behavior: the manifest has only a build script, and the separately invoked board installer downloads first-party scoped packages. The flagged TUI behavior is consistent with local CLI features and no concrete malicious action was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-09T04:54:05.164Z

- **Download time:** 1275 ms
- **Static scan time:** 671 ms
- **AI review time:** 20530 ms
- **Total time:** 22477 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 in the inspected package entrypoint, TUI excerpts, or board installer. The installer performs system-level setup only when explicitly run.

- **Trigger:** Normal package installation has no declared lifecycle hook; board setup requires explicitly running its installer.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious effect or attack surface was established from the inspected behavior.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:54:27.641Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI invokes its task tools and makes a loopback request for pairing information; the board installer downloads scoped packages from the npm registry and writes launchers.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install-time attack behavior: the manifest has only a build script, and the separately invoked board installer downloads first-party scoped packages. The flagged TUI behavior is consistent with local CLI features and no concrete malicious action was found.

- **Files touched:** board/install-kaihongos.cjs

- **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, 127.0.0.1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 89.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines only a build script and lists first-party @hmharness dependencies; it has no install lifecycle hook., The board installer runs as an explicit command and stages packages from registry.npmjs.org under the configured board home., The CLI entrypoint describes user-invoked commands; the TUI executes tools through its task interface and contacts a loopback pair-info endpoint.

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.15/board/install-kaihongos.cjs>)

Package source references child process execution.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L32: const https = require('https');
L33: const { spawnSync } = require('child_process');
L34:
```

### 3. High: Shell
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 85.0%

Package source references shell execution.

### 4. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source

### 7. High: Same File Env Network Execution
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 85.0%
- **Path:** board/install-kaihongos.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.15/board/install-kaihongos.cjs>)

A single source file combines environment access, network access, and code or shell execution; review context before blocking.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L251: log('first run: creating config skeleton at ' + HMH_HOME);
L252: const r = spawnSync(nodeBin, [path.join(NM, '@hmharness', 'cli', 'dist', 'main.js'), 'init'], {
L253: encoding: 'utf8', env: Object.assign({}, process.env, { HMH_HOME, HOME: BOARD_HOME }),
L254: });
...
L261: console.log('  2. hmh check     # verify toolchain');
L262: console.log('  3. hmh tui       # or: hmh web start  →  http://127.0.0.1:7788');
L263: console.log('pitfalls & details: docs/KAIHONGOS.md');
```

### 8. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.15/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`;
```

### 9. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 10. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 11. 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.

### 12. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/tui.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.15/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
```
