@marsapi/cli@0.0.140
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Mars AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package sends runtime telemetry by default, including an install ID and OS release, without disclosure in its README. The opt-out and filtering reduce the risk, and the inspected flow does not show credentials or file contents being sent.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A normal CLI invocation, except help and version requests.
Impact
Undisclosed collection creates a privacy risk, but the observed data flow does not establish credential theft or unrelated data exfiltration.
Mechanism
The CLI queues command events and posts them to /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry with install ID, OS release, architecture, and runtime version metadata. TELEMETRY=0, false, or off disables collection.
AI rationale
The package sends runtime telemetry by default, including an install ID and OS release, without disclosure in its README. The opt-out and filtering reduce the risk, and the inspected flow does not show credentials or file contents being sent.

Network endpoints1
configured gateway: /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Telemetry is enabled by default; it is disabled only when the TELEMETRY environment variable is set to 0, false, or off.
- Telemetry payloads include an install ID, CLI version, brand, OS, OS release, architecture, and Node version.
- Command events can include the command name, status, duration, error text, and filtered command-line flags.
- Normal CLI invocations queue command events and send them to /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry.
Evidence against
- Users can disable telemetry with the TELEMETRY environment variable.
- The CLI filters flags containing “key” from command-event arguments, and telemetry masks home paths and common secret formats.
- The package has no install lifecycle scripts; the telemetry is runtime behavior.
