## 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:** 0.2.476
- **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.

The package manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the inspected JavaScript shows sandbox-related command handling rather than a verified attack. The required native executable analysis is materially limited, so its behavior cannot be resolved from available evidence.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%

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 concrete attack was established. The package includes a large native executable whose behavior remains unresolved by the available bounded analysis.

- **Trigger:** Use of the Windows ARM64 CLI executable; its precise activation path is unresolved.

- **Impact:** Unknown; no attack impact is confirmed from the inspected source.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/reason.exe, .lpm-inspection-BhCXnK/0-22035807627c.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T13:38:20.173Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The offline analysis identifies the executable as a PE containing candidate embedded source, but cannot establish which code is reachable or exclude other native behavior.

- **Rationale:** The package manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the inspected JavaScript shows sandbox-related command handling rather than a verified attack. The required native executable analysis is materially limited, so its behavior cannot be resolved from available evidence.

- **Files touched:** bin/reason.exe, bin/runtime/srt/sandbox-runtime.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json describes a Windows ARM64 CLI package containing bin files., The analysis of bin/reason.exe is limited to bounded embedded source windows and says it cannot establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior., The bundled sandbox runtime includes a command wrapper with configurable network restrictions, but its relationship to the executable’s behavior is unresolved.

- **Evidence against:** package.json declares no lifecycle scripts., The inspected JavaScript describes sandbox restrictions around a requested command; this alone does not establish malicious behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @reason-machines/cli-win32-arm64@0.2.476.

- Review the evidence and your use of @reason-machines/cli-win32-arm64@0.2.476 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.
