Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package sends runtime telemetry by default and offers only an environment-variable opt-out; the inspected README does not disclose it. The endpoint is the package’s own gateway, and the reviewed code does not show unrelated credential or file collection, so this is suspicious rather than malicious. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T12:07:46.039Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T12:08:41.148Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 790 ms - **AI review time:** 53562 ms - **Total time:** 55109 ms 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:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry is sent by default to the Mars AI gateway. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI normally; telemetry can be disabled with TELEMETRY=0, false or off. - **Impact:** Usage and error metadata is sent without an explicit opt-in; no malicious credential or file exfiltration was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/lib/telemetry.js, dist/lib/command.js, dist/brand.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T12:08:41.148Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Records command events and sends them to the configured gateway’s telemetry endpoint. The package documentation inspected does not disclose this collection. - **Rationale:** The package sends runtime telemetry by default and offers only an environment-variable opt-out; the inspected README does not disclose it. The endpoint is the package’s own gateway, and the reviewed code does not show unrelated credential or file collection, so this is suspicious rather than malicious. - **Files touched:** dist/lib/telemetry.js, dist/lib/command.js, dist/brand.json - **Network endpoints:** https://ai.marsapi.cn/api/platform/vibecode/telemetry ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Runtime telemetry is enabled by default; it is disabled only when the TELEMETRY environment variable is set to 0, false or off., Normal CLI execution records command start and completion events, including selected flags, and flushes telemetry., The CLI batches telemetry events to /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry., The telemetry sender builds the request URL from the configured gateway base URL; the package’s default gateway is https://ai.marsapi.cn. - **Evidence against:** The package is a CLI for configuring Mars AI and other coding tools, so sending usage events to its own gateway has a plausible product purpose., The sender uses the configured gateway and masks common secret patterns in error text; the inspected code does not show automatic collection of unrelated credentials or files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @marsapi/cli@0.0.153. - Review the evidence and your use of @marsapi/cli@0.0.153 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
