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 first-party plugin setup creates residual agent-extension risk because applying Claude Code configuration can install plugins without a separate confirmation. Credential forwarding is conditional on the configured destination, and the default is package-aligned; no concrete malicious behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T10:56:17.914Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T10:59:02.041Z - **Download time:** 1552 ms - **Static scan time:** 646 ms - **AI review time:** 161928 ms - **Total time:** 164127 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:** Applying VibeCLI configuration to Claude Code can install marketplace plugins without a separate plugin-level confirmation. The API sender also forwards a saved key when telemetry or a report is sent to the active base URL, which can be changed to an arbitrary HTTP or HTTPS destination. - **Trigger:** The user applies VibeCLI configuration to Claude Code, runs a CLI command that sends telemetry, or explicitly requests a doctor report. - **Impact:** Plugins are added to the user’s Claude Code environment. If the base URL points to an unintended server, that server may receive the saved API key; the inspected source does not establish malicious use or theft. - **Evidence paths:** dist/lib/tools/claude-plugins.d.ts, dist/lib/tools/claude-plugins.js, dist/lib/tools/claude-code.js, dist/lib/tool-manager.js, dist/commands/setup.js, dist/lib/telemetry.js, dist/lib/command.js, dist/lib/config.js, dist/lib/gateway-addresses.js, dist/brand.json, dist/commands/auth.js, dist/commands/doctor.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T10:59:02.041Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The Claude adapter invokes the plugin installer during configuration loading. The API request helper adds the saved key as a bearer token and resolves the request against the configured base URL. - **Rationale:** The first-party plugin setup creates residual agent-extension risk because applying Claude Code configuration can install plugins without a separate confirmation. Credential forwarding is conditional on the configured destination, and the default is package-aligned; no concrete malicious behavior was established. - **Files touched:** dist/lib/tools/claude-plugins.js, dist/lib/tools/claude-code.js, dist/lib/tool-manager.js, dist/commands/setup.js, dist/lib/telemetry.js, dist/lib/command.js, dist/lib/config.js, dist/lib/gateway-addresses.js, dist/commands/auth.js, dist/commands/doctor.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official.git, https://www.vibeapi.cn, /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry, /api/platform/vibecode/report ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Applying Claude Code configuration calls the plugin installer when a Claude executable is found; the setup flow reaches this configuration application., The installer adds a marketplace and installs plugins that are not already installed or recorded, without a separate plugin-level confirmation., The request helper reads the saved API key and attaches it as a bearer token to a POST resolved against the active base URL; the key is saved by the authentication command., The base URL can be set with --base and accepts arbitrary HTTP or HTTPS URLs; the packaged default is VibeAPI’s gateway., Telemetry is enabled by default unless its setting disables it. CLI commands record telemetry, and a separate doctor --report action can upload a diagnostic report. - **Evidence against:** The configured default gateway belongs to the package’s VibeAPI brand, and telemetry has a disable setting., The inspected sources show official Claude plugin installation and conditional credential forwarding, but no malicious plugin payload or confirmed credential theft. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vibeapi/cli@0.0.139. - Review the evidence and your use of @vibeapi/cli@0.0.139 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.
