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 JavaScript and manifest did not establish a concrete attack, but the package includes native executables whose behavior could not be fully assessed. Manual review is needed to resolve that material uncertainty. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T00:19:02.991Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T00:19:43.315Z - **Download time:** 2568 ms - **Static scan time:** 632 ms - **AI review time:** 37124 ms - **Total time:** 40324 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 concrete attack was established from the inspected source. Native executable behavior remains unresolved because analysis was limited or unsupported. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI or its bundled background components could activate the unresolved native code. - **Impact:** Potential effects cannot be determined from the available inspection; no specific malicious effect was verified. - **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-5WwPM6/0-7e837238267b.txt, .lpm-inspection-5WwPM6/1-4501142da95b.txt, .lpm-inspection-5WwPM6/2-c2b90eddb921.txt, .lpm-inspection-5WwPM6/3-aec8541c2664.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T00:19:43.315Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The primary executable has only bounded embedded-source analysis, while three other executable artifacts lack supported analysis. - **Rationale:** The inspected JavaScript and manifest did not establish a concrete attack, but the package includes native executables whose behavior could not be fully assessed. Manual review is needed to resolve that material uncertainty. - **Files touched:** bin/reason, bin/Background/Reason.app/Contents/MacOS/ReasonBackgroundIdentity, bin/Background/Reason.app/Contents/Helpers/ReasonPermissionTile, bin/libreason\_device\_keychain.dylib ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The host analysis is tied to the native CLI binary, but its bounded source windows do not establish reachability or rule out other native behavior., Three additional executable artifacts have unrecognized formats, leaving their behavior unresolved., The manifest identifies this as a Darwin ARM64 native CLI package. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.546. - Review the evidence and your use of @reason-machines/cli-darwin-arm64@0.2.546 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.
