@vibeapi/cli@0.0.155
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’s purpose and user-triggered setup behavior appear legitimate, but default-on telemetry includes selected command-line flags that are not among the documented fields. This is a runtime privacy concern, so the version warrants a warning rather than a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running a CLI command; telemetry events are queued and sent during normal command execution.
Impact
The gateway receives command and step metadata, including selected flags that may contain identifying values such as a custom base URL.
Mechanism
The CLI records command metadata and posts event batches to the configured gateway. The default gateway is https://www.vibeapi.cn; users can disable telemetry with VIBECLI_TELEMETRY=0.
AI rationale
The package’s purpose and user-triggered setup behavior appear legitimate, but default-on telemetry includes selected command-line flags that are not among the documented fields. This is a runtime privacy concern, so the version warrants a warning rather than a publish block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Telemetry is enabled by default; it can be disabled with the VIBECLI_TELEMETRY environment variable.
- Each CLI invocation records a command event containing selected raw command-line flags, which are not listed among the documented telemetry fields.
- The CLI batches telemetry events to the configured gateway at /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall scripts.
- Telemetry is sent to the configured gateway, and the source documents an opt-out and describes the event fields.
- The flagged desktop setup, persistence, and tool installation functions are reached through user-invoked CLI operations.
