## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.2.418
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest and flagged JavaScript location do not establish malicious behavior; the .mcp.json match is part of sandbox protection logic. The primary native executable’s behavior remains unresolved by the available analysis, so manual review is warranted.

## Latest scan

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 concrete attack was established in the inspected source. The package’s native CLI remains unresolved because its bounded offline analysis cannot establish the executable’s behavior.

- **Trigger:** Invoking the native CLI executable.

- **Impact:** The native executable’s effects remain undetermined.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-P5SlRz/0-c9e478336904.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T03:50:38.069Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The available analysis contains bounded embedded source windows but does not establish their reachability or rule out other native behavior.

- **Rationale:** The manifest and flagged JavaScript location do not establish malicious behavior; the .mcp.json match is part of sandbox protection logic. The primary native executable’s behavior remains unresolved by the available analysis, so manual review is warranted.

- **Files touched:** bin/reason, bin/runtime/srt/sandbox-runtime.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The package is a Darwin ARM64 CLI package that ships a native executable., The offline analysis identifies bin/reason as a Mach-O executable but says its bounded source windows cannot establish reachability or rule out other native behavior., The flagged .mcp.json match appears in sandbox protection code, not as evidence of a configuration write.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected manifest describes a platform-specific native binary package., The sandbox source lists .mcp.json among mandatory write protections.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.418.

- Review the evidence and your use of @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.418 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.
