## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 23 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.25.1
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Direct inspection found no install-time execution, credential exfiltration, destructive behavior, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation. The flagged primitives implement documented, user-invoked scaffolding and an optional OpenAI/Codex transport.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0%
- **Started:** 2026-07-17T19:54:09.165Z
- **Finished:** 2026-07-17T19:56:57.634Z
- **Download time:** 506 ms
- **Static scan time:** 3769 ms
- **AI review time:** 164193 ms
- **Total time:** 168469 ms

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 confirmed malicious attack surface. Sensitive integrations are explicit runtime features of an AI-agent framework and require user CLI or model-adapter use.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`eve init\` or configures and uses the optional ChatGPT model adapter.

- **Impact:** Creates the requested project or refreshes credentials for the configured OpenAI model connection; no stealth persistence or foreign control-surface mutation found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/eve.js, dist/src/cli/commands/init-repl.js, dist/src/cli/commands/agent-instructions.js, dist/src/public/models/openai/chatgpt/auth.js, dist/src/public/models/openai/chatgpt/transport.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-17T19:56:57.634Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked project scaffolding and opt-in model authentication.

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection found no install-time execution, credential exfiltration, destructive behavior, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation. The flagged primitives implement documented, user-invoked scaffolding and an optional OpenAI/Codex transport.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** High

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** \`dist/src/cli/commands/init-repl.js\` can launch installed coding-agent CLIs, but only after interactive selection during \`eve init\`., \`dist/src/public/models/openai/chatgpt/auth.js\` accesses Codex \`auth.json\` for the optional ChatGPT model adapter.

- **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, \`postinstall\`, or \`prepare\` lifecycle hook., \`bin/eve.js\` executes only when the user invokes the \`eve\` CLI and dispatches to the packaged CLI entrypoint., \`init-repl.js\` passes an explicit setup prompt to a selected local CLI; it does not write AI-agent configuration., \`chatgpt/transport.js\` sends configured model requests to OpenAI endpoints and refreshes credentials through \`auth.openai.com\`; no unrelated exfiltration endpoint was found., The scanner's AWS-like string is embedded compiled evaluator data, not an exposed package credential.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to eve@0.25.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of eve@0.25.1 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.
