eve@0.76.3

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

AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Static hints were not proof of malicious behavior: the flagged Vercel code validates OAuth destinations against Vercel hosts, and the package has no install lifecycle hook. The inspected CLI and authentication code are consistent with user-invoked package functionality, so the verdict is clean.

Static reason

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

Trigger

The CLI bootstrap runs when a user invokes the eve command; library behavior runs when a consumer imports the relevant entrypoint.

Impact

No confirmed attack impact was found in the inspected source.

Mechanism

The inspected flagged code performs Vercel OAuth endpoint validation, MCP skill path checks, and configured HTTP Basic authentication; no malicious action was established.

AI rationale

Network endpoints2

vercel.comapi.vercel.com

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json identifies eve@0.76.3 and exposes a CLI binary and library entrypoints.
The package scripts contain build and test commands but no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The CLI builds when needed and then imports and runs its eve CLI entrypoint when invoked.
Vercel OAuth endpoints are restricted to vercel.com and api.vercel.com.
MCP skill paths reject traversal segments before serving files.
HTTP Basic authentication compares supplied credentials with the configured username and password.

Evidence against

No inspected source establishes credential forwarding to an unrelated receiver or other concrete attack behavior.
