eve@0.59.0

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

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Inspected source matches a user-invoked Vercel agent framework: no install hooks, and flagged files are first-party OAuth, telemetry, and vendored SDKs. The CLI and self-modification extension stay dual-use, and oversized compiled vendor trees could not be fully analyzed, so this stays a warning rather than clean or a block.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The user runs the eve binary or imports the framework; npm install does not run a lifecycle script.

Impact

When eve runs, it can spawn processes, use Vercel and model credentials, send telemetry, and mutate project files; residual unread compiled code is the unresolved remainder.

Mechanism

Dual-use agent CLI plus first-party extension over incomplete-analysis vendor blobs

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 68.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with high false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

First-party self-modification extension is registered in package metadata and can edit files and call GitHub when that product path runs.
The eve CLI bootstraps with spawn and dynamic import and posts CLI telemetry to Vercel unless the user disables it.
Vercel login refreshes OAuth tokens against vercel.com and ai-gateway.vercel.sh and stores session material under the user eve auth directory.
Oversized minified vendor bundles embed Vercel Blob and OpenAI SDKs and cannot be fully reviewed line by line.
The user-invoked agent CLI remains dual-use process, credential, and network capability even though npm install does not run a lifecycle hook.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts.
Published runtime dependencies are only nitro and undici; the eve@0.30.8 alias is a named devDependency.
HTTP basic auth only compares local credentials with a timing-safe hash.
Inspected hosts in flagged files are first-party Vercel, OpenAI, and GitHub product endpoints.
CLI, OAuth, and telemetry run after the user invokes eve, not at registry install.
