## 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:** 0.2.457
- **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 flagged .mcp.json match is a sensitive-path entry, not proof of a configuration write or attack. The required native executable analysis is materially limited, so its behavior cannot be resolved from the inspected source and a manual review is warranted.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review

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 attack was confirmed from the inspected source excerpts. The shipped native executable remains materially unresolved because its bounded embedded-source analysis cannot establish its full behavior.

- **Trigger:** Execution of the shipped native binary; the exact activating behavior is unresolved.

- **Impact:** No concrete harmful effect was verified; the executable's behavior remains unresolved.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-XdHPr6/0-0ec7859fe42e.txt, bin/runtime/srt/sandbox-runtime.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T22:24:43.885Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The available analysis inspects only bounded embedded-source windows and cannot establish reachability or exclude other native behavior.

- **Rationale:** The flagged .mcp.json match is a sensitive-path entry, not proof of a configuration write or attack. The required native executable analysis is materially limited, so its behavior cannot be resolved from the inspected source and a manual review is warranted.

- **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:** The manifest identifies this as a macOS ARM64 native-binary package., The flagged source location lists .mcp.json among sensitive paths; this excerpt does not establish a write or configuration change., The native executable is a 71,658,016-byte Mach-O with bounded embedded-source analysis; that analysis states it cannot establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected .mcp.json match is a path-list entry alongside shell and Git configuration paths, not evidence of an attack by itself.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.457.

- Review the evidence and your use of @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.457 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.
