@vibeapi/cli@0.0.151
CLI tool for managing AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, AtomCode, Grok Build) with one unified config
AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package enables runtime telemetry by default and sends command and diagnostic event fields to its configured gateway. The reviewed evidence does not show credential theft or unrelated collection, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI with a command that records telemetry; telemetry can be disabled with TELEMETRY=0, false, or off.
Impact
The package reports usage and diagnostic details without apparent credential or file-content collection; the undisclosed default collection is a privacy risk.
Mechanism
The CLI records session, command, step, status, duration, and optional error or detail fields, then posts event batches to the gateway telemetry endpoint.
AI rationale
The package enables runtime telemetry by default and sends command and diagnostic event fields to its configured gateway. The reviewed evidence does not show credential theft or unrelated collection, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default; users can disable it with the TELEMETRY environment variable.
- Telemetry events include a session ID, command, step, status, duration, and sometimes an error or detail, and are posted to /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry.
- The CLI records a command-start event during normal command execution.
Evidence against
- The package is a CLI for managing AI coding assistants, and the flagged process execution and install features fit that purpose.
- Desktop app installation checks the downloaded app's code signature and verifies its checksum.
- The reviewed telemetry code sends events to the configured gateway and does not show collection of credentials or file contents.
