## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious install-time or import-time attack surface. Process execution is tied to explicit CLI/sandbox use.

- **Trigger:** User runs the eve CLI or invokes its Vercel sandbox integration.

- **Impact:** No unconsented persistence, credential harvesting, or exfiltration chain was found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/eve.js, dist/src/setup/primitives/coding-agent-env.js, dist/src/setup/primitives/run-vercel.js, dist/src/public/sandbox/vercel.js, dist/src/compiled/\_chunks/workflow/token-util-BneBe0g5.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T18:19:59.457Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked development CLI and optional Vercel command wrapper.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle scripts or autonomous execution. Flagged primitives are consistent with an explicit developer CLI and Vercel sandbox feature, not concrete malicious behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Manifest exposes a user-invoked CLI and has no npm lifecycle hook., CLI runs only when directly invoked as the bin entry point., Vercel subprocess setup removes coding-agent environment markers before spawning.

- **Evidence against:** The package includes optional Vercel sandbox/CLI integration with child-process and network-capable dependencies., Compiled vendor artifacts contain authentication and host-related code, but no unconsented execution or exfiltration chain was established.
