## 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:** 0.23.24
- **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 installer is explicitly invoked by a user to set up the same-vendor CLI. The inspected network, process, and editor behavior is consistent with those workflows; no concrete malicious behavior was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-09T04:54:15.811Z

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 package includes a manually run board installer that downloads matching @hmharness packages and installs launchers, and the TUI can open a user-selected editor for a draft.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the board installer or invokes the TUI draft editing flow.

- **Impact:** These behaviors support the package’s CLI and board setup workflows; no unconsented install-time attack surface was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:54:41.374Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer retrieves package tarballs from registry.npmjs.org and writes board launchers; the TUI starts the configured editor for a draft file.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged installer is explicitly invoked by a user to set up the same-vendor CLI. The inspected network, process, and editor behavior is consistent with those workflows; no concrete malicious behavior was found.

- **Files touched:** board/install-kaihongos.cjs, dist/tui.js

- **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; no install lifecycle hook is present., The board installer performs its work when run as a script and downloads the package’s @hmharness components from the npm registry., dist/main.js is a Node CLI entrypoint that imports the package’s application modules., dist/tui.js starts the configured text editor to edit a user draft.

## Affected versions and remediation

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.24/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@0.23.24/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@0.23.24/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@0.23.24/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
```
