@vibeapi/cli@0.0.142
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-aiThis version sends runtime usage telemetry by default, and I found no documentation or consent prompt disclosing it. The collected event fields are usage and runtime metadata, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI and recording telemetry events; telemetry is enabled unless explicitly disabled by environment setting.
Impact
The service receives usage and runtime metadata without a documented consent prompt or disclosure found in the inspected README search.
Mechanism
Batches command and step events, statuses, durations, and masked errors to /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry through the configured API base URL.
AI rationale
This version sends runtime usage telemetry by default, and I found no documentation or consent prompt disclosing it. The collected event fields are usage and runtime metadata, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Evidence
dist/cli.jsdist/lib/telemetry.js
Network endpoints1
Configured API base URL + /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Telemetry is enabled by default; it can be disabled with the TELEMETRY environment variable.
- The CLI sends command, step, status, timing, and masked error data to the telemetry endpoint after a command runs.
- Telemetry includes install ID and runtime/platform metadata; the sender uses the configured API base URL.
Evidence against
- The manifest points to a CLI entry and declares no lifecycle scripts in the inspected section.
- The package entry point only re-exports modules; the telemetry trigger is the CLI command flow.
- No evidence found that telemetry sends credentials to a foreign host or that shell-profile persistence runs automatically.
