# @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.523 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:** 0.2.523
- **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 has no install hook, but the required native analysis is bounded and leaves material executable behavior unresolved. The sampled credential flow could be a product feature or a credential exposure risk, so the source evidence does not support a clean or attack verdict.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 76.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-22T10:26:29.363Z

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:** The bounded native-source samples show a possible flow of saved agent access tokens to a local-subscription request. The available analysis does not establish whether this flow is reachable or resolve consent and recipient processing.

- **Trigger:** Starting the local worker while local logins are enabled; the sampled configuration defaults this setting on.

- **Impact:** Third-party access tokens could be shared with the Reason service; the inspected evidence does not resolve whether this occurs in the executable or under what consent conditions.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-CFAOvv/0-5b7d632f00dc.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T10:28:19.643Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The sampled code reads credentials from local stores and files, then passes access-token data to a Reason API local-subscription route.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, but the required native analysis is bounded and leaves material executable behavior unresolved. The sampled credential flow could be a product feature or a credential exposure risk, so the source evidence does not support a clean or attack verdict.

- **Files touched:** .credentials.json, .grok/auth.json, auth.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 76.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json contains no lifecycle scripts., The native report contains bounded embedded-source samples and says they do not establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior., The samples show credential reads followed by local-subscription requests when local logins are enabled, with that setting defaulting on; native activation, recipient processing, and consent remain unresolved.

- **Evidence against:** The credential flow is described as local-login functionality, and the inspected package manifest does not show an install-time trigger., The offline native analysis is partial and does not establish that the sampled credential flow is reachable.

## Affected versions and remediation
