@reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.542: Manual Review npm

AI Security Review

scanned 6h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no lifecycle hook, and the inspected JavaScript excerpt does not establish an attack. The required native executable has only bounded source analysis, leaving material behavior unresolved; manual review is warranted.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Running the packaged CLI executable.

Impact

Potential effects of the unresolved native behavior cannot be determined from the inspected evidence.

Mechanism

The package ships a native executable; available offline analysis does not establish the reachability or behavior of all its code.

AI rationale

The manifest has no lifecycle hook, and the inspected JavaScript excerpt does not establish an attack. The required native executable has only bounded source analysis, leaving material behavior unresolved; manual review is warranted.

Evidence

bin/reason.lpm-inspection-sYZkQ2/0-78c698081c5e.txtbin/runtime/srt/sandbox-runtime.mjs

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 90.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest identifies this as a Darwin ARM64 native CLI package and includes its bin directory.
The host analysis identifies bin/reason as a 71 MB Mach-O executable, but only provides bounded embedded source windows and says they cannot establish full native behavior.
The bundled sandbox runtime includes child-process and environment access; this excerpt alone does not establish malicious behavior.

Evidence against

The inspected package manifest contains no lifecycle script declaration.
