@reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.378: Manual Review npm

AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the flagged JavaScript excerpt does not establish malicious behavior. The main native executable is only partially analyzed; embedded credential-reading code and the analysis limits leave material runtime behavior unresolved, so manual review is appropriate.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Running the native CLI may activate the embedded code; its complete activation path was not established.

Impact

Potential credential exposure cannot be ruled out from the available analysis.

Mechanism

The limited offline analysis exposes credential-reading code but does not establish all callers, transfers, or other native behavior.

AI rationale

The package manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the flagged JavaScript excerpt does not establish malicious behavior. The main native executable is only partially analyzed; embedded credential-reading code and the analysis limits leave material runtime behavior unresolved, so manual review is appropriate.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 86.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json identifies this as the platform-specific Reason CLI binary package.
The flagged runtime excerpt lists project configuration paths, but the inspected location does not establish an attack.
The offline analysis says its bounded embedded source windows cannot establish whether all native behavior is reachable or absent.
Embedded source candidates include code that reads local coding-agent credentials; the available windows do not resolve the complete activation and transfer behavior.
