AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection supports a clean verdict: the package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged network and authentication code is consistent with its service and channel functionality. The inspected files show no concrete malicious behavior.

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 invoked, and authentication code runs when the relevant Vercel login or HTTP Basic authentication flow is used.

Impact

No unconsented install-time mutation, credential exfiltration, or other confirmed attack effect was established.

Mechanism

The CLI bootstraps its compiled entrypoint; Vercel authentication rejects OAuth endpoints outside Vercel's service domains and prevents redirects. HTTP Basic authentication compares credentials against configured values.

AI rationale

Network endpoints2

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The manifest routes the executable to bin/eve.js and exposes dist as the package payload.
The manifest's scripts are build and development tasks; it has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The CLI bootstrap checks and returns the compiled entrypoint when available.
Vercel OAuth endpoints are restricted to vercel.com and api.vercel.com; redirects are disabled for authentication requests.
HTTP Basic authentication compares supplied credentials with the configured strategy credentials using timing-safe comparison.
The MCP skills module registers a skills resource capability with resource-size limits.
