Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 0.52.0 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No concrete malware or lifecycle abuse was found, but the guarded self-modification extension is a meaningful agent-extension capability that warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T02:00:54.603Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T02:02:39.995Z - **Download time:** 755 ms - **Static scan time:** 15450 ms - **AI review time:** 89185 ms - **Total time:** 105392 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:** When an Eve development session runs with EVE\_DEV enabled, its built-in extension can expose a source-editing subagent. This is a guarded, runtime agent capability rather than install-time behavior. - **Trigger:** Run an Eve development agent session with EVE\_DEV=1. - **Impact:** A prompted agent could modify authored project source within its configured sandbox. - **Evidence paths:** dist/src/self-modification/agent.js, dist/src/self-modification/extension/tools/edit\_file.js, dist/src/cli/telemetry/flush.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T02:02:39.995Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Development-gated source-editing agent extension. - **Rationale:** No concrete malware or lifecycle abuse was found, but the guarded self-modification extension is a meaningful agent-extension capability that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** dist/src/self-modification/agent.js, dist/src/self-modification/extension/tools/edit\_file.js, dist/src/cli/telemetry/flush.js - **Network endpoints:** telemetry.vercel.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package registers a built-in self-modification extension., A development-only agent can edit authored source when EVE\_DEV is enabled., The CLI can send telemetry events to Vercel. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The only self-package reference is an aliased devDependency, not a runtime dependency., No automatic install-time execution, credential harvesting, or foreign agent-control-surface mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to eve@0.52.0. - Review the evidence and your use of eve@0.52.0 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.
