⚠ Under review

Reason CLI native binary for linux-arm64

AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Inspected source shows no install hook and a configuration-gated local-login handover feature. The packaged native executable remains materially unresolved, so the package requires manual review rather than a source-grounded clean or malicious verdict.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Use of the packaged native CLI; its complete activation and behavior were not established by the available analysis.

Impact

The unresolved executable behavior prevents a confident clean or malicious verdict.

Mechanism

The package includes a large ELF executable, while the inspected analysis covers only bounded embedded-source windows and cannot resolve its loader or other native behavior.

AI rationale

Evidence

.lpm-inspection-36BKFL/0-c76e4ec13c36.txtbin/ara

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 93.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json identifies the package as a Linux ARM64 native binary distribution; it defines no lifecycle hook.
The local-login helper reads tokens from local agent authentication stores and passes access tokens to the Reason client's localSubscription method when enabled.
The runtime gates local-login handover on the localLogins setting; a connection configuration path can default that setting to true.
The package includes a 103 MB ELF executable. Its bounded offline analysis does not establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior.
Inspected agent-related excerpts show a Playwright skill copied into a project Claude skills directory and configuration-path handling; these excerpts alone do not establish malicious behavior.

Evidence against

No npm lifecycle scripts appear in the inspected manifest.
The inspected local-login handover is a runtime feature gated by configuration, not an install-time action.
