## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.73.0
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The source findings support package-aligned CLI, authentication, and framework behavior; the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. The scanner labels do not establish an active attack, and the reviewed flagged files show no concrete malicious chain.

## Latest scan

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 attack was identified in the inspected package entrypoints or flagged source files. The reviewed network and credential behavior is tied to the package's Vercel authentication and gateway features.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the eve CLI or uses the corresponding authentication, MCP skill, or framework functionality.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious effect or unauthorized data transfer was established from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T00:09:38.249Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI loads eve's compiled entrypoint; the inspected files validate Vercel OAuth endpoints, skill path segments, credentials, and local server origins.

- **Rationale:** The source findings support package-aligned CLI, authentication, and framework behavior; the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. The scanner labels do not establish an active attack, and the reviewed flagged files show no concrete malicious chain.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the eve CLI and compiled library entrypoint; its scripts are build and development tasks, with no install lifecycle hook., bin/eve.js imports and runs the package's compiled eve CLI., Vercel OAuth endpoints are restricted to Vercel origins, and the related gateway call authenticates to Vercel's AI Gateway., The MCP skills module validates skill path segments before serving them., The HTTP Basic module compares supplied credentials with configured credentials., The framework server uses loopback-host validation when parsing local server origins.
