@highflame/overwatch@2.1.0
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 package’s install scripts do not include an install-time hook, and its main entry exports the module without starting the daemon. The flagged network and process activity aligns with hook evaluation, scanning, and explicitly invoked gateway setup.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user starts the daemon or runs a CLI command; hook evaluation occurs when the daemon receives an event.
Impact
No malicious impact identified in the reviewed paths.
Mechanism
The daemon posts hook events to the configured Cerberus endpoint. Gateway configuration is managed through an explicit CLI command.
AI rationale
The package’s install scripts do not include an install-time hook, and its main entry exports the module without starting the daemon. The flagged network and process activity aligns with hook evaluation, scanning, and explicitly invoked gateway setup.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package has no install-time lifecycle hook; its listed prepublishOnly script runs a build.
- The main entry exports OverwatchModule without starting the daemon at import time.
- The daemon sends hook events to its configured Cerberus evaluation endpoint, matching the package’s stated security-monitoring purpose.
- Gateway routing and credential selection are exposed through an explicit CLI enable command.
Evidence against
- The daemon makes network requests and invokes subprocesses, but the reviewed paths use them for hook evaluation and the package’s scanner.
- The daemon may transmit hook payloads to Highflame’s service; that is part of its stated function.
