@vibeapi/cli@0.0.140
CLI tool for managing AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, AtomCode, Grok Build) with one unified config
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends default-on runtime telemetry containing platform and command event metadata, with an opt-out that is not disclosed in the README. The source does not show concrete credential or sensitive-content exfiltration, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI; telemetry is enabled unless the user sets the package's TELEMETRY environment setting to an off value.
Impact
The gateway receives a stable install identifier, platform details, command and status data, and event details or masked errors.
Mechanism
The CLI batches event metadata and posts it to the configured gateway at /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry.
AI rationale
The CLI sends default-on runtime telemetry containing platform and command event metadata, with an opt-out that is not disclosed in the README. The source does not show concrete credential or sensitive-content exfiltration, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default; it can be disabled with the package's TELEMETRY environment setting.
- Telemetry sends a stable install ID, CLI version, OS and release, architecture, and Node version to the configured gateway's telemetry endpoint.
- Telemetry events include command names, status, and caller-provided details or masked error messages; command-start details also include most flag arguments.
Evidence against
- Telemetry is sent to the configured gateway endpoint, not an unrelated host.
- Command-start telemetry filters out flag arguments containing “key”; error messages have home paths and common secret patterns masked.
- Startup auto-update applies to global installs, and the README describes the automatic update behavior.
