## 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:** 0.2.463
- **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 runtime excerpts do not establish malicious behavior, but the primary native executable remains materially unresolved. Manual review is appropriate because the offline analysis does not establish its full behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-20T04:03:34.499Z

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 from the inspected source. The main native executable remains unresolved because the available offline analysis covers only bounded embedded source windows.

- **Trigger:** Running the packaged native CLI.

- **Impact:** Unknown; no specific harmful effect was verified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T04:04:23.177Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package includes a native executable, but its complete behavior could not be established from the available analysis.

- **Rationale:** The manifest and runtime excerpts do not establish malicious behavior, but the primary native executable remains materially unresolved. Manual review is appropriate because the offline analysis does not establish its full behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **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 and contains no lifecycle hook or JavaScript entrypoint., The sandbox runtime lists \`.claude/commands\` and \`.claude/agents\` among paths it handles; this excerpt does not establish a malicious configuration write., The offline analysis contains only bounded embedded source windows and says it cannot establish the executable's full behavior or absence of other behavior., The README describes the native binary as the package's product, so its unresolved behavior is material to the review.

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

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.463.

- Review the evidence and your use of @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.463 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.
