## 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:** 0.2.432
- **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 inspected excerpts do not establish malicious behavior. The package's native CLI remains materially unresolved because its offline analysis is limited, so the evidence does not support either a clean verdict or a confirmed attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-19T07:55:03.936Z

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 confirmed attack surface was established. The native CLI's behavior remains unresolved because the available offline analysis is bounded and does not establish which embedded code is reachable.

- **Trigger:** Unknown; the native executable's activation behavior could not be resolved from the inspected analysis.

- **Impact:** Unknown; source inspection does not support a conclusion about the executable's full effects.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/reason, .lpm-inspection-23MK9y/0-192d44ddcac6.txt, bin/runtime/srt/sandbox-runtime.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T07:55:52.036Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package contains a native CLI executable, while the available embedded-source analysis does not establish loader reachability or complete native behavior.

- **Rationale:** The inspected excerpts do not establish malicious behavior. The package's native CLI remains materially unresolved because its offline analysis is limited, so the evidence does not support either a clean verdict or a confirmed attack.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json identifies this as a darwin-arm64 CLI package and declares no lifecycle scripts., The sandbox runtime lists protected configuration paths, including .mcp.json and Claude command and agent directories; this excerpt alone does not establish a write or its activation., The offline analysis identifies bin/reason as a Mach-O executable with embedded source candidates, but says its bounded source windows cannot establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior.

- **Evidence against:** No concrete attack behavior was established from the inspected source excerpts.

## Affected versions and remediation
