## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 13 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:** 0.23.38
- **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 and daemon behavior is consistent with explicit setup and local service operation. Inspected entrypoints and prepared dependency sources provide no concrete evidence of an attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-24T04:12:00.301Z

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 surface was identified in the inspected source. The flagged process execution supports the board installation utility and local web daemon behavior.

- **Trigger:** The board installer runs when a user invokes it; the web daemon starts when the CLI requests the web service.

- **Impact:** These inspected behaviors do not establish covert execution, credential disclosure, or unauthorized system changes.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T04:12:34.942Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer stages package files and checks the CLI entrypoint, while the daemon starts the local web command as a detached child process.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged installer and daemon behavior is consistent with explicit setup and local service operation. Inspected entrypoints and prepared dependency sources provide no concrete evidence of an attack.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines only a build script and pins the first-party runtime dependencies., The inspected agent, cognitive, and Harmony domain packages expose their stated runtime APIs and show no install lifecycle hooks., The board installer is a separate utility that stages the CLI and checks its entrypoint; its system installation requires running that utility., The web daemon launches the local web command as a detached child and records its process state., dist/main.js is the documented CLI entrypoint; no concrete attack behavior was identified in the inspected paths.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.23.38.

- Review the evidence and your use of @hmharness/cli@0.23.38 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.

- **Path:** board/install-kaihongos.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.38/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
L339: log('first run: creating config skeleton at ' + HMH_HOME);
L340: const r = spawnSync(nodeBin, [path.join(NM, '@hmharness', 'cli', 'dist', 'main.js'), 'init'], {
L341: encoding: 'utf8', env: Object.assign({}, process.env, { HMH_HOME, HOME: BOARD_HOME }),
L342: });
...
L349: console.log('  2. hmh check     # verify toolchain');

- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.38/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`;
```

- **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: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** dist/web-daemon.js\#virtual:normalized:round1
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.38/dist/web-daemon.js%23virtual%3Anormalized%3Around1>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```text
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 1
```

### 13. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/web-daemon.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.38/dist/web-daemon.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@0.23.37
matchedIdentity = npm:QGhtaGFybmVzcy9jbGk:0.23.37
similarity = 0.778
