## 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:** 0.23.21
- **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 lifecycle hook or active attack behavior. The flagged installer and clipboard operations are user-invoked and consistent with the CLI’s board setup and interactive features.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-09T04:54:06.994Z

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 or required finding paths. Network access and launcher changes are part of a separately invoked board installer.

- **Trigger:** The CLI runs when invoked; board installation runs when a user explicitly executes board/install-kaihongos.cjs; clipboard copying requires /copy.

- **Impact:** No confirmed unconsented package-install mutation, credential exfiltration, or other attack surface was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:54:35.165Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook. The installer fetches and stages first-party packages and writes launchers during its own execution; the TUI clipboard operation is user-command gated.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook or active attack behavior. The flagged installer and clipboard operations are user-invoked and consistent with the CLI’s board setup and interactive features.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org

### 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 defines only a build script and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., board/install-kaihongos.cjs performs package resolution only when its installer routine is explicitly run; its documented purpose is board setup., dist/main.js is a command-line entry point that dispatches user-supplied arguments., dist/tui.js copies the last AI response only after the user invokes /copy.

## Affected versions and remediation

- **Path:** board/install-kaihongos.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.21/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

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 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@0.23.21/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@0.23.21/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@0.23.21/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
```
