Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The Reason service receives access tokens for third-party accounts, exposing those accounts to use through the service. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.2.349 - **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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source shows default-on collection and forwarding of saved third-party access tokens to the publisher's service without a recipient-specific consent gate. This is concrete credential disclosure, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T07:23:38.047Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T07:26:25.406Z - **Download time:** 39770 ms - **Static scan time:** 4553 ms - **AI review time:** 123035 ms - **Total time:** 167359 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:** The connected worker collects saved third-party access tokens and forwards them to the publisher's Reason API. The setting defaults on and the transfer path has no recipient-specific affirmative consent gate. - **Trigger:** Starting a connected worker with local-login mode enabled, including when the setting is absent and defaults on. - **Impact:** The Reason service receives access tokens for third-party accounts, exposing those accounts to use through the service. - **Evidence paths:** bin/vm-hands/vm-hands-entry-lite-svs618mf.js, bin/vm-hands/vm-hands-entry-lite-1xjtcxpn.js, bin/vm-hands/vm-hands-entry-lite-36xzwsxn.js, .lpm-inspection-3sISfx/0-316b5fe99f98.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T07:26:25.406Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The worker reads saved provider credentials, selects current access tokens, and submits them in the local-subscription request to the Reason service. - **Attack narrative:** When a connected worker starts, its default-on local-login feature reads saved credentials for third-party coding services and sends current access tokens to the Reason API. The CLI help discloses this behavior and offers an off switch, but the transfer path does not require recipient-specific affirmative consent before sending saved tokens. - **Rationale:** Source shows default-on collection and forwarding of saved third-party access tokens to the publisher's service without a recipient-specific consent gate. This is concrete credential disclosure, so the package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.grok/auth.json, ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json, ~/.pi/agent/auth.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.reasonmachines.ai/app/local-runtime/local-subscription ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The local-login helper reads saved Claude credentials and other provider authentication files from the user's home directory., When local-login mode is enabled, the worker passes collected access tokens to its subscription operation., If local-login mode is unset, the code defaults it to enabled, and the worker calls the handover helper when that mode is active., The subscription operation sends its request body to the Reason local-runtime endpoint on the configured production API origin., The bundled CLI help says local logins are on by default and that Reason receives each login's current access token. - **Evidence against:** The package manifest has no npm lifecycle hook; the token transfer is activated at runtime when the connected worker starts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @reason-machines/cli-linux-arm64@0.2.349. - Avoid installing @reason-machines/cli-linux-arm64@0.2.349. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
