Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 25 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:** 0.43.0 - **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. Inspection found no concrete malicious behavior, but a clean verdict cannot carry the required eleven distinct source citations within the eight-citation limit. This is therefore an output-capacity review hold rather than a warning based on source behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-20T05:27:53.373Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-20T05:37:52.188Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 13050 ms - **AI review time:** 584999 ms - **Total time:** 598815 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 attack surface was identified in the inspected package source. The reported hostname primitive is URL validation, and the inspected token request is restricted to Vercel's API. - **Trigger:** No malicious activating action was confirmed; the CLI is activated by direct execution. - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-20T05:37:52.188Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** No confirmed malicious mechanism was found after tracing the flagged hostname, authentication, CLI, and OIDC code. - **Rationale:** Inspection found no concrete malicious behavior, but a clean verdict cannot carry the required eleven distinct source citations within the eight-citation limit. This is therefore an output-capacity review hold rather than a warning based on source behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Low - **AI review observations:** The manifest exposes a CLI but its scripts shown are build-related; no install lifecycle hook is present., The CLI runs only when its own executable is invoked and then dispatches caller arguments to the CLI module., The reported hostname matches are URL-schema validation, not host collection or transmission., The inspected OIDC request sends a supplied bearer token only to the fixed Vercel API endpoint., The basic-auth helper compares supplied credentials locally using timing-safe equality. - **Evidence against:** No concrete malicious trigger, exfiltration sink, persistence action, or lifecycle attack was established in the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to eve@0.43.0. - Review the evidence and your use of eve@0.43.0 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
