## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 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:** 0.76.2
- **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 scanner’s credential-exfiltration hint does not match the inspected Vercel module: it contacts Vercel and validates OAuth endpoints against Vercel origins. The manifest contains no install hook, and the other flagged code implements application features or explicit CLI behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-10T16:33:28.336Z

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 malicious attack surface was identified in the inspected entrypoints and flagged files.

- **Trigger:** Normal package import or explicit invocation of the eve CLI or application features.

- **Impact:** No evidence in these inspected paths shows covert credential forwarding, install-time mutation, or malicious payload execution.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T16:33:58.624Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The reviewed code implements Vercel OAuth authentication, HTTP Basic credential checking, MCP skill-resource registration, and CLI command execution.

- **Rationale:** The scanner’s credential-exfiltration hint does not match the inspected Vercel module: it contacts Vercel and validates OAuth endpoints against Vercel origins. The manifest contains no install hook, and the other flagged code implements application features or explicit CLI behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, bin/eve.js, dist/src/internal/model-auth/vercel.js, dist/src/internal/mcp/skills.js, dist/src/channel/auth/http-basic.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://vercel.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the CLI and library entrypoints; its scripts are development/build/test tasks, with no install lifecycle hook., The Vercel auth code fetches OAuth metadata from Vercel and restricts returned OAuth endpoints to Vercel origins., MCP skills code registers resource handlers as an application feature; this is not install-time execution., HTTP Basic authentication compares supplied credentials to configured credentials using timing-safe comparison., The CLI imports child-process support, but inspected code shows command execution is part of its explicit command runner.
