@highflame/overwatch@2.0.15
IDE-agnostic security daemon for AI coding assistants. Evaluates prompts, tool calls, file operations, shell commands, and MCP usage in real time for Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, and Kiro.
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install-time hook, and the reviewed credential flow is tied to explicit gateway configuration. The daemon’s event forwarding matches the package’s stated purpose of evaluating agent activity; no unrelated credential collection or attack behavior was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User runs the CLI or daemon; gateway configuration and route verification occur through the gateway enable command.
Impact
No malicious impact was identified in the reviewed flows.
Mechanism
The reviewed code applies credentials to the configured gateway URL and forwards hook events to Cerberus for evaluation.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install-time hook, and the reviewed credential flow is tied to explicit gateway configuration. The daemon’s event forwarding matches the package’s stated purpose of evaluating agent activity; no unrelated credential collection or attack behavior was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a CLI and daemon entry point; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which builds the package.
- The gateway route check sends its credential to the supplied baseUrl, and the enable command applies that same baseUrl and credential to agent configuration.
- The daemon forwards hook events to Cerberus for evaluation, consistent with the package’s stated security-daemon purpose.
Evidence against
- The CLI and daemon handle credentials and make network requests, but the reviewed flows tie these to gateway configuration or Cerberus evaluation.
