@vibeapi/cli@0.0.148
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 user-triggered setup writes Claude Desktop settings that allow network egress and SSH access to any host by default. This is a meaningful agent capability risk, so the package warrants a warning rather than a clean verdict.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs setup to configure Claude Desktop.
Impact
The resulting Claude Desktop configuration has broader network and SSH access than a narrowly configured setup requires.
Mechanism
Configuration enables Cowork egress to all hosts and permits SSH connections to all hosts.
AI rationale
The package’s user-triggered setup writes Claude Desktop settings that allow network egress and SSH access to any host by default. This is a meaningful agent capability risk, so the package warrants a warning rather than a clean verdict.
Evidence
dist/lib/tools/claude-desktop.jsdist/commands/setup.jsClaude Desktop user data directory: configLibrary JSON files
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Claude Desktop configuration enables wildcard Cowork egress and a wildcard SSH host allowlist by default.
- The CLI writes JSON configuration files under Claude Desktop’s user data directory.
- Setup applies configuration after a write-plan confirmation, but the cited code does not show separate consent for the broad allowlists.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook.
- The configuration changes are triggered by the user’s setup command, not automatically at package install or import.
- Telemetry posts to the configured API base URL and includes ordinary platform and runtime fields.
