## 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:** 0.23.16
- **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 flagged execution and network behavior inspected is tied to explicit board setup or ordinary CLI/TUI functions. The sources inspected show no concrete malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%

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 entry point, terminal UI, or board installer. The installer performs board setup when invoked, and the inspected network requests are for npm package metadata or local pairing information.

- **Trigger:** Running the board installer or invoking the CLI/TUI commands that use the described features.

- **Impact:** No confirmed attack surface was established by these behaviors.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:54:29.296Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer retrieves HMHarness packages from registry.npmjs.org; the TUI fetches pairing details from the local web service.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged execution and network behavior inspected is tied to explicit board setup or ordinary CLI/TUI functions. The sources inspected show no concrete malicious behavior.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **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 the CLI entry point and board installer as package files; it has no install lifecycle hook., The board installer fetches package metadata from the npm registry and installs the first-party HMHarness package set when run., dist/main.js is the CLI entry point and imports the matching @hmharness/kernel package., dist/tui.js requests pairing information from the local web service at 127.0.0.1.

## Affected versions and remediation

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.16/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
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

### 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@0.23.16/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@0.23.16/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@0.23.16/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
```
