# @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.511 npm security report

## 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:** 0.2.511
- **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 shows a platform-specific native CLI with no lifecycle hook. The verified native executable’s analysis is explicitly limited and cannot establish reachability or exclude other behavior, so the package warrants manual review rather than a malicious verdict.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 79.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-22T00:21:28.900Z

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 concrete attack was confirmed. The package’s native CLI behavior remains unresolved because the available offline analysis covers only bounded embedded-source windows.

- **Trigger:** Execution of the packaged native CLI; its activation and behavior could not be determined from the inspected analysis.

- **Impact:** Potential effects cannot be determined from the available inspection; no specific harmful effect is established.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-6RrRAn/0-47f9e5b48439.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T00:22:06.214Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The binary contains embedded-source candidates, including subprocess and filesystem operations, but the analysis does not establish their reachability or cover all native behavior.

- **Rationale:** The manifest shows a platform-specific native CLI with no lifecycle hook. The verified native executable’s analysis is explicitly limited and cannot establish reachability or exclude other behavior, so the package warrants manual review rather than a malicious verdict.

- **Files touched:** bin/reason

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 79.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest identifies this as a macOS ARM64 native CLI package and contains no lifecycle scripts., The verified native executable is a 71 MB Mach-O binary; its offline analysis says bounded embedded-source windows cannot establish loader reachability or rule out other behavior., An embedded source candidate imports child-process and filesystem APIs, but the analysis does not establish whether that code is reachable.

- **Evidence against:** The package is platform-specific, and no lifecycle hook is declared in package.json., The inspected excerpts do not establish malicious behavior; the native binary’s material runtime behavior remains unresolved.

## Affected versions and remediation
