## 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:** 0.2.509
- **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 sandbox bundle excerpts are consistent with process lookup and loopback proxy setup, and do not establish malicious behavior. The shipped native executable remains materially unresolved, so manual review is appropriate.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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 established from the inspected JavaScript excerpts. The native CLI's behavior remains unresolved because its analysis is limited to embedded source windows.

- **Trigger:** Running the shipped \`bin/reason\` executable.

- **Impact:** Unknown; the available inspection cannot determine the executable's behavior.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-2BZxkr/0-11529eeb729c.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T22:37:51.904Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The native executable is a Mach-O Bun artifact, but the available analysis does not establish which embedded code is loaded or whether other native behavior exists.

- **Rationale:** The inspected sandbox bundle excerpts are consistent with process lookup and loopback proxy setup, and do not establish malicious behavior. The shipped native executable remains materially unresolved, so manual review is appropriate.

- **Files touched:** bin/reason

### 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 CLI package and contains no lifecycle scripts., The shipped \`bin/reason\` is a 71,724,064-byte Mach-O executable; its trusted analysis says the embedded source windows do not establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior.

- **Evidence against:** The flagged runtime bundle includes process lookup and loopback proxy setup, consistent with sandbox support; the inspected excerpts do not establish an attack.

## Affected versions and remediation
