Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 0.0.142 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T17:44:02.516Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T17:44:43.738Z - **Download time:** 778 ms - **Static scan time:** 597 ms - **AI review time:** 39846 ms - **Total time:** 41222 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 after CLI activity; no attack was identified beyond this telemetry risk. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T17:44:43.738Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Batches command and step events, statuses, durations, and masked errors to /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry through the configured API base URL. - **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. - **Network endpoints:** Configured API base URL + /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:** 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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vibeapi/cli@0.0.142. - Review the evidence and your use of @vibeapi/cli@0.0.142 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.
