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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T19:18:30.655Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T19:19:28.703Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 633 ms - **AI review time:** 56894 ms - **Total time:** 58048 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:** Default-on runtime telemetry may transmit inline command-line values that the argument filter does not remove. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/lib/command.js, dist/lib/telemetry.js, dist/lib/telemetry.d.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T19:19:28.703Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The event includes switch arguments unless they contain “key”; telemetry then forwards the detail unchanged to the configured gateway. - **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. - **Network endpoints:** https://www.vibeapi.cn/api/platform/vibecode/telemetry (default gateway; the configured gateway may differ) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vibeapi/cli@0.0.145. - Review the evidence and your use of @vibeapi/cli@0.0.145 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.
