@vibeapi/cli@0.0.146
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-aiThe package’s purpose and inspected command flows are consistent with a legitimate CLI, but runtime telemetry is enabled by default and can send local binary paths to its gateway. This is an identifying telemetry risk, so warn rather than block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A CLI command emits telemetry, including when a Codex catalog probe fails.
Impact
The gateway can learn local installation paths and related usage events.
Mechanism
Telemetry is enabled by default and sends event details to the configured gateway; one event includes local binary paths.
AI rationale
The package’s purpose and inspected command flows are consistent with a legitimate CLI, but runtime telemetry is enabled by default and can send local binary paths to its gateway. This is an identifying telemetry risk, so warn rather than block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package is a CLI for managing AI coding assistants, and its manifest declares no lifecycle scripts.
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default; setting VIBECLI_TELEMETRY to 0, false, or off disables it.
- Telemetry events can include command details and error messages, and are posted to the configured gateway’s telemetry endpoint.
- A Codex catalog failure event includes local binary paths in its rejected_by detail, which is sent with telemetry.
Evidence against
- The manifest defines a CLI entry point and no install-time lifecycle hooks.
- The inspected telemetry targets the package’s configured gateway, and its base URL can be configured.
- The telemetry code masks home paths in error messages and masks common key formats.
