AI Security Review

scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected findings are tied to the package's invoked CLI and documented integration code; source inspection did not establish an active attack. The Vercel token is sent to the Vercel AI Gateway for access validation, and the GitHub integration describes repository-scoped credentials.

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 CLI runs when a user invokes it; authentication and GitHub operations occur through their respective product features.

Impact

No unconsented credential exfiltration or other concrete attack effect was established.

Mechanism

The inspected Vercel code sends a bearer token to Vercel's AI Gateway, while the GitHub guidance describes scoped repository credentials for authenticated operations.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes a CLI entry point and a built distribution; it declares no install lifecycle hook.
bin/eve.js dynamically imports the package's CLI entry point when invoked.
Vercel auth code sends a bearer token to Vercel's AI Gateway credits endpoint as part of access validation.
MCP skills code registers skill resource handlers; it does not establish credential collection or external transmission.
HTTP Basic auth compares supplied credentials with configured credentials using timing-safe comparison.
GitHub guidance describes repository-scoped credentials and routes authenticated GitHub operations through the gh tool.
