@reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.454: Manual Review npm

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no lifecycle hook, and the reviewed JavaScript describes sandbox policy behavior without establishing an attack. The required native executable analysis is incomplete, so its behavior cannot be cleared from source evidence.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Unknown; the native executable's full activation paths were not established.

Impact

Unknown; source inspection did not confirm an attack or its effects.

Mechanism

The package includes a large native executable whose available analysis does not establish loader reachability or rule out other behavior.

AI rationale

The manifest has no lifecycle hook, and the reviewed JavaScript describes sandbox policy behavior without establishing an attack. The required native executable analysis is incomplete, so its behavior cannot be cleared from source evidence.

Evidence

bin/reason.lpm-inspection-AEHari/0-700cf1bfd438.txt

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 88.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest identifies this as a macOS ARM64 native CLI package and contains no lifecycle script declaration.
The bundled runtime includes agent-related paths in its sandbox filtering and protection policy.
The 71 MB native executable has only bounded embedded-source analysis; that analysis explicitly cannot establish its full behavior.

Evidence against

The manifest describes a platform-specific CLI binary and declares no install-time hook.
