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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T21:17:36.937Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T21:18:19.632Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 711 ms - **AI review time:** 41473 ms - **Total time:** 42695 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:** Claude Desktop setup enables broad access settings by default. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/lib/tools/claude-desktop.js, dist/commands/setup.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T21:18:19.632Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Configuration enables Cowork egress to all hosts and permits SSH connections to all hosts. - **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. - **Files touched:** Claude Desktop user data directory: configLibrary JSON files ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vibeapi/cli@0.0.148. - Review the evidence and your use of @vibeapi/cli@0.0.148 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.
