## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 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:** 0.23.46
- **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 package has no npm install hook, and the reviewed network and persistence behavior belongs to explicit board-install or extension commands. The inspected source does not show an unrelated or concealed attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-29T07:47:43.255Z

- **Total time:** 188187 ms

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 explicit board-install and browser-extension daemon features.

- **Trigger:** The board installer must be run directly; the extension daemon and watchdog are started through extension commands.

- **Impact:** These actions support the documented CLI, board deployment, and browser-extension functions; the inspected code does not show unrelated credential collection, exfiltration, or hidden startup behavior.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T07:50:51.442Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The board installer fetches first-party packages from the npm registry and writes launch and repair files. Extension commands can start a local bridge and, on Windows, register a recurring watchdog.

- **Rationale:** The package has no npm install hook, and the reviewed network and persistence behavior belongs to explicit board-install or extension commands. The inspected source does not show an unrelated or concealed attack.

- **Files touched:** \<BOARD\_HOME\>/.local/bin/hmh, /usr/local/bin/hmh, /system/bin/hmh, \<BOARD\_HOME\>/.config/apikeys.env, \<HMH\_HOME\>/heal-tree.cjs, \<HMH\_HOME\>/extension-watchdog-task.cjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org, http://127.0.0.1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest declares only a build script and no npm install lifecycle hook., The board installer is documented as a command the user runs explicitly; its registry access fetches the package set for that installation., The installer adds its self-healing script and launcher hook only when that installer runs., The extension watchdog and scheduled task are started by explicit extension commands and can be removed with the stop command., Board defaults preserve an explicit web.tunnel setting.

- **Evidence against:** The board installer writes launchers and a startup repair hook outside the package directory., On Windows, explicitly starting or installing the browser extension can register a recurring scheduled watchdog.

## Affected versions and remediation

L27: const path = require('path');
L28: const https = require('https');
L29: const { spawnSync } = require('child_process');

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @hmharness/cli@0.23.38
matchedIdentity = npm:QGhtaGFybmVzcy9jbGk:0.23.38
