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 lifecycle hooks, and the inspected embedded-source candidate shows a loopback login callback. The packaged native executable is only partially characterized by the supplied analysis, so its behavior cannot be cleared or confirmed as malicious from this inspection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T20:49:47.240Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T20:50:18.073Z - **Download time:** 2285 ms - **Static scan time:** 629 ms - **AI review time:** 27918 ms - **Total time:** 30833 ms 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 in the inspected source. The native executable’s behavior remains unresolved because the available offline analysis is limited to bounded embedded-source windows. - **Trigger:** Execution of bin/reason. - **Impact:** Whether the executable performs additional security-relevant actions cannot be determined from this inspection. - **Evidence paths:** bin/reason, .lpm-inspection-We86A5/0-b55a20cd37db.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T20:50:18.073Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The supplied analysis does not establish reachability of its embedded source or characterize the executable’s remaining native behavior. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the inspected embedded-source candidate shows a loopback login callback. The packaged native executable is only partially characterized by the supplied analysis, so its behavior cannot be cleared or confirmed as malicious from this inspection. - **Files touched:** bin/reason, .lpm-inspection-We86A5/0-b55a20cd37db.txt - **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The offline analysis identifies bin/reason as a 71 MB Mach-O executable and says its bounded source windows cannot establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior., The manifest contains no lifecycle scripts, and an embedded source candidate uses a loopback HTTP callback for login. - **Evidence against:** The inspected manifest identifies this as a Darwin ARM64 CLI binary package and does not declare lifecycle hooks., An embedded source candidate binds its login callback to 127.0.0.1; this does not establish a malicious transfer. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.537. - Review the evidence and your use of @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.537 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
