@vibeapi/cli@0.0.145
CLI tool for managing AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, AtomCode, Grok Build) with one unified config
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiTelemetry is enabled by default, and the CLI forwards switch arguments with only a narrow “key” filter, so inline credential-like values or identifying settings may be included. The package documents an opt-out and says the API key itself is not sent, but the source filter does not enforce that for other inline values; 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 with telemetry enabled; the CLI records a command-start event.
Impact
Inline values such as a token or custom host could be disclosed to the gateway. The source does not establish that a particular credential is routinely sent.
Mechanism
The event includes switch arguments unless they contain “key”; telemetry then forwards the detail unchanged to the configured gateway.
AI rationale
Telemetry is enabled by default, and the CLI forwards switch arguments with only a narrow “key” filter, so inline credential-like values or identifying settings may be included. The package documents an opt-out and says the API key itself is not sent, but the source filter does not enforce that for other inline values; this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- At CLI startup, the command event records switch arguments, excluding only arguments whose text contains “key”; inline values such as --token=… are not excluded by that filter.
- Telemetry copies event detail into the queued event without redacting it, then posts events to the configured gateway’s telemetry endpoint.
- Telemetry is enabled by default and can be disabled with VIBECLI_TELEMETRY=0, false, or off.
Evidence against
- The package documents that telemetry is best effort and says it does not send the API key itself or file contents.
- The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts. The telemetry flow is reached through the CLI entry point.
