eve@0.64.1

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

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

eve 0.64.1 is an agent framework whose inspected entrypoints run only when a user launches the CLI or calls auth helpers. Vercel tokens stay on Vercel origins, and there is no install lifecycle hook or foreign agent-control write.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Nothing runs on npm install. The CLI starts only when a user executes the eve binary.

Impact

No unconsented project mutation, secret theft, or remote payload execution was established from the inspected entrypoints.

Mechanism

The manifest has build and test scripts only. Auth either checks caller-supplied basic credentials locally or refreshes a Vercel session against an origin-restricted Vercel endpoint.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json identifies eve 0.64.1 as a published package and does not declare preinstall, install, or postinstall hooks.
bin/eve.js is the user-launched CLI and resolves the packaged dist CLI entrypoint.
Vercel model auth accepts OAuth endpoints only for https://vercel.com or https://api.vercel.com and sends the session token to Vercel AI Gateway.
Mock model fixtures only build local test replies and tool inputs.
HTTP basic channel auth compares a caller-supplied username and password locally with a timing-safe hash.

Evidence against

Searches of package.json, bin, and dist/src found no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts.
Credential refresh is gated by an origin allowlist and is aimed at the Vercel login service, not an unrelated recipient.
