## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.2.398
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Static inspection found no confirmed malicious behavior, but the required native executable analysis is materially incomplete. Manual review is appropriate because its behavior and activation remain unresolved.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 77.0%

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 from the inspected source. The main Windows executable remains unresolved because its offline analysis is bounded and does not establish which embedded code runs.

- **Trigger:** Unknown; the executable’s activation and embedded-code reachability were not established.

- **Impact:** Potential behavior of the executable cannot be determined from the available analysis.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/reason.exe, .lpm-inspection-Tg95an/0-7a8b99b8f134.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T18:07:30.578Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The package ships a large native executable, but the available analysis provides only bounded embedded source excerpts and cannot rule out other behavior.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found no confirmed malicious behavior, but the required native executable analysis is materially incomplete. Manual review is appropriate because its behavior and activation remain unresolved.

- **Files touched:** bin/reason.exe

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 77.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The package includes a large Windows executable; its offline analysis contains only bounded embedded source windows and says it cannot establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior., The runtime source includes paths for project MCP and agent configuration, but the inspected excerpt alone does not establish a harmful write.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts or JavaScript entrypoint declared., The inspected native addon analysis reports no analysis limitations, but it does not resolve the separate main executable.

## Affected versions and remediation
