@reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.387: Manual Review npm

AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior, but the package’s native CLI is its central artifact and its behavior remains materially unresolved. Manual review is appropriate; scanner similarity and capability signals alone do not establish an attack.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Unknown; the binary’s activation and reachable behavior could not be established from the bounded analysis.

Impact

Unknown; no concrete harmful effect was verified.

Mechanism

The offline analysis contains embedded source candidates but cannot establish their reachability or rule out other native behavior.

AI rationale

The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior, but the package’s native CLI is its central artifact and its behavior remains materially unresolved. Manual review is appropriate; scanner similarity and capability signals alone do not establish an attack.

Evidence

.lpm-inspection-pgPsOl/0-7beb3457f9aa.txtbin/ara

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 71.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json identifies this as a Darwin ARM64 native CLI package and contains no lifecycle script.
Offline analysis identifies bin/ara as a Mach-O executable, but says its bounded source windows cannot establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior.
The runtime bundle includes code referring to Claude and agent configuration paths, but that excerpt alone does not establish activation or effects.

Evidence against

The inspected runtime excerpt only defines configuration paths; it does not establish an attack.
No concrete attack behavior was verified from the available source.
