@marsapi/cli@0.0.154
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Mars AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiRuntime telemetry is enabled by default, and failed mirrored installs can submit captured command output as error data to the vendor service. The package source shows no install-time hook or clear credential exfiltration, so this merits a warning for telemetry rather than a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs a CLI operation that invokes a mirrored tool installer and that command fails; telemetry is enabled by default.
Impact
Diagnostic output, potentially including local details, may be sent to the vendor without an explicit telemetry opt-in; common secret formats and home paths are masked.
Mechanism
The CLI buffers installer stdout and stderr, attaches up to 1,500 characters as an error event, and posts telemetry to its configured service.
AI rationale
Runtime telemetry is enabled by default, and failed mirrored installs can submit captured command output as error data to the vendor service. The package source shows no install-time hook or clear credential exfiltration, so this merits a warning for telemetry rather than a publish block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- When a mirrored tool installer fails, its captured command output is added to the telemetry error field.
- Telemetry is enabled by default unless TELEMETRY is set to 0, false, or off.
- Telemetry events are posted to the configured service at /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry; the default host is ai.marsapi.cn.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts, and the reported output collection is runtime-only.
- The telemetry code masks home paths and common secret formats in error text.
- The package is a CLI for configuring coding tools, so installer execution and basic runtime telemetry fit its stated purpose.
