## 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:** 0.23.8
- **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 points to the expected CLI entrypoint and has no install lifecycle hook; the inspected flagged behaviors are conditional local export and a loopback pairing request. No concrete attack surface was established.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean

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 entrypoint and flagged TUI behaviors.

- **Trigger:** The CLI runs when invoked; the DPO export path is used only when its local data file is missing.

- **Impact:** No malicious effect or external data disclosure was established from these inspected behaviors.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:54:19.320Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** That path re-invokes the CLI to export local preference data. The TUI fetches pairing state from the local web daemon.

- **Rationale:** The manifest points to the expected CLI entrypoint and has no install lifecycle hook; the inspected flagged behaviors are conditional local export and a loopback pairing request. No concrete attack surface was established.

- **Files touched:** home/evolution/dpo-pairs.jsonl

- **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:${DEFAULT\_WEB\_PORT}/api/pair-info

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json routes the executable and module entrypoint to dist/main.js and shows no install lifecycle hook., dist/main.js reads the local DPO pairs file and only attempts its export when that file is absent., dist/tui.js requests pairing information from the local web daemon at 127.0.0.1.

- **Evidence against:** The package repository metadata identifies the hmharness project., The inspected dynamic process launch is limited to exporting a missing local DPO data file; no unrelated recipient or install-time execution was identified., The TUI network request targets loopback for pairing state.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.23.8.

- Review the evidence and your use of @hmharness/cli@0.23.8 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@0.23.8/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@0.23.8/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:** 93.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.8/package.json>)

package.json routes the executable and module entrypoint to dist/main.js and shows no install lifecycle hook.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"type": "module",
  "main": "dist/main.js",
  "exports": {
    ".": {
      "types": "./dist/main.d.ts",
      "default": "./dist/main.js"
    }
  },
  "types": "dist/main.d.ts",
  "bin": {
    "hmh": "dist/main.js"

### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.8/dist/main.js>)

dist/main.js reads the local DPO pairs file and only attempts its export when that file is absent.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
// pairs: reuse dpo-pairs.jsonl, exporting it fresh if absent (zero-config)
        const pairsFile = join(home, 'evolution', 'dpo-pairs.jsonl');
        try {
            await readFile(pairsFile, 'utf8');
        }
```

### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/tui.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.23.8/dist/tui.js>)

dist/tui.js requests pairing information from the local web daemon at 127.0.0.1.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
// ask the SERVER for the live pairing state (token rotates there)
                const info = await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:${DEFAULT_WEB_PORT}/api/pair-info`).then((r) => r.json());
```
