## 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:** 0.23.3
- **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.

Inspected the manifest, executable entrypoint, flagged TUI source, and referenced update helper. Their lifecycle, registry-check, and explicit pairing behaviors provide no concrete attack surface.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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 inspected network behavior is a registry version check and a user-triggered local pairing flow.

- **Trigger:** The version check runs in the interactive REPL; pairing runs when the user enters /remote, /remote lan, or /remote wan.

- **Impact:** These behaviors support update notices and remote pairing; the inspected source does not establish malicious activity.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:54:23.881Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The updater requests package version metadata from registry.npmjs.org. The pairing flow contacts the local web daemon and displays a pairing QR code.

- **Rationale:** Inspected the manifest, executable entrypoint, flagged TUI source, and referenced update helper. Their lifecycle, registry-check, and explicit pairing behaviors provide no concrete attack surface.

- **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, http://127.0.0.1:\<DEFAULT\_WEB\_PORT\>/api/pair-info

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **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 matching @hmharness dependencies; it has no install lifecycle hook., dist/main.js runs an update reminder in the interactive REPL., dist/update-check.js fetches npm dist-tags from the package’s registry and caches the result under the user home directory., dist/tui.js performs the remote pairing flow only after the user enters a /remote command; it contacts the local web daemon.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.23.3.

- Review the evidence and your use of @hmharness/cli@0.23.3 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.

## 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%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 5. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.3/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@0.23.3/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: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 96.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.3/package.json>)

package.json defines only a build script and lists matching @hmharness dependencies; it has no install lifecycle hook.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"scripts": {
    "build": "tsc -p tsconfig.build.json"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@hmharness/agent": "0.23.3",
    "@hmharness/cognitive": "0.23.3",
    "@hmharness/domain-harmony": "0.23.3",
    "@hmharness/domain-
```

### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 96.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.3/dist/main.js>)

dist/main.js runs an update reminder in the interactive REPL.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
// npm is pull-based; the update reminder is a cached (1/day) registry
    // check printed when resolved - never blocks, never nags offline
    const { notifyUpdate } = await import("./update-check.js");
    const { createReq
```

### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 96.0%
- **Path:** dist/update-check.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.3/dist/update-check.js>)

dist/update-check.js fetches npm dist-tags from the package’s registry and caches the result under the user home directory.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
}
    catch { /* no cache yet */ }
    if (latest === null) {
        const doFetch = opts.fetchImpl ?? fetch;
        try {
            const res = await doFetch(REGISTRY, { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(3000) });
            if (res.ok) {
                const tags = await res.json();
                if (typeof tags.latest === 'string') {
```
