## 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:** 0.2.498
- **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 did not establish malicious behavior, but the required hash-verified native executable has materially limited analysis. Manual review is appropriate because its full behavior remains unresolved.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 66.0%

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 in the inspected manifest or JavaScript. The bundled native executable remains unresolved because its limited offline analysis cannot establish its full behavior.

- **Trigger:** Unknown; the inspected manifest does not establish when the native executable is launched.

- **Impact:** Unknown until the executable's relevant behavior is established.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/reason.exe, .lpm-inspection-CTQxk7/0-ff904b2efb07.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T07:32:34.828Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The offline analysis exposes only bounded embedded source candidates and cannot determine their reachability or exclude other native behavior.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection did not establish malicious behavior, but the required hash-verified native executable has materially limited analysis. Manual review is appropriate because its full behavior remains unresolved.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 66.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest identifies a Windows ARM64 native binary package and declares no lifecycle scripts or JavaScript entrypoint., The host-generated inspection identifies bin/reason.exe as an 86.9 MB executable, but says its bounded embedded source windows cannot establish loader reachability or rule out other behavior.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest contains no declared install lifecycle hook.

## Affected versions and remediation
