## 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:** 0.2.520
- **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 inspected JavaScript and manifest do not establish a concrete attack. The required native executable is a large PE artifact with analysis limited to bounded source candidates, so its behavior remains unresolved and warrants manual review.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%

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 established from the inspected JavaScript. The required native executable remains unresolved because its bounded analysis does not establish its full behavior.

- **Trigger:** The package's native executable may run when the CLI is invoked; its activation path could not be verified from the inspected excerpts.

- **Impact:** The executable's effects on the system and network cannot be determined from the available evidence.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-LARTZU/0-b434994bbd23.txt, bin/reason.exe

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T08:23:29.898Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The available analysis exposes only bounded embedded-source windows and does not establish loader reachability or other native behavior.

- **Rationale:** The inspected JavaScript and manifest do not establish a concrete attack. The required native executable is a large PE artifact with analysis limited to bounded source candidates, so its behavior remains unresolved and warrants manual review.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest identifies this as a Windows ARM64 native-binary package., The runtime bundle imports child-process and filesystem APIs while locating commands., The offline analysis covers only bounded embedded-source windows and says it cannot establish the executable's full behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @reason-machines/cli-win32-arm64@0.2.520.

- Review the evidence and your use of @reason-machines/cli-win32-arm64@0.2.520 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.
