registry / AI-agent capability abuse / eve / 0.55.0

eve@0.55.0

Filesystem-first framework for durable backend AI agents that run anywhere.

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is not malicious install-time behavior, but it ships a high-impact, agent-driven source-modification capability and project installer. A warning is appropriate for downstream policy review.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user enables or invokes the self-modification or registry CLI features.

Impact

A permitted agent or CLI user can cause source and configuration changes in its intended workspace.

Mechanism

User-invoked agent source modification and project registry installation.

AI rationale

This is not malicious install-time behavior, but it ships a high-impact, agent-driven source-modification capability and project installer. A warning is appropriate for downstream policy review.

Evidence

package.jsondist/src/self-modification/sandbox.jsdist/src/cli/commands/registry.js/sourcepnpm-workspace.yaml

Network endpoints3

vercel.comapi.vercel.comeve.dev

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The manifest registers a built-in self-modification extension.
The self-modification runtime can edit an agent workspace and use a sandbox.
The package includes commands that install registry items and alter project files when explicitly invoked.
A bundled Vercel token helper sends host details in an OAuth user-agent during token refresh.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook.
There is no runtime dependency on eve itself.
The CLI only runs after direct execution of the eve command.
Client network requests use the caller-supplied agent host.
