Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.52.1 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The source supports a warning for a powerful agent framework with host-identifying authentication telemetry, but it does not support a concrete malicious chain. No install-time execution, persistence, or covert exfiltration was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 72.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T23:29:33.943Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T23:32:41.271Z - **Download time:** 1009 ms - **Static scan time:** 15376 ms - **AI review time:** 170941 ms - **Total time:** 187328 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 automatic install-time attack surface was confirmed. The package provides broad agent and sandbox capabilities that run when a consumer invokes its APIs or CLI. - **Trigger:** A user runs the eve CLI or an application invokes its agent and sandbox features. - **Impact:** A consuming application can use powerful agent capabilities; this review found no covert package-driven compromise. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T23:32:41.271Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked process execution and configured network clients. - **Rationale:** The source supports a warning for a powerful agent framework with host-identifying authentication telemetry, but it does not support a concrete malicious chain. No install-time execution, persistence, or covert exfiltration was found. - **Network endpoints:** vercel.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 72.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package bundles broad agent, sandbox, process-launching, and network client capabilities that could be risky in a consuming application., A bundled Vercel OIDC helper includes the host name in a request user agent when obtaining an OAuth endpoint., Several flagged files are large compiled third-party integrations, so their presence still warrants a warning but does not establish an attack. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook., The manifest has no runtime dependency on eve itself., The CLI process spawning is reached by explicitly running the eve command, not during installation., The reviewed client network requests use configured hosts or Vercel authentication endpoints; no covert exfiltration path was confirmed. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to eve@0.52.1. - Review the evidence and your use of eve@0.52.1 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
