@vibeapi/cli@0.0.163
CLI tool for managing AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, AtomCode, Grok Build) with one unified config
AI Security Review
scanned 11h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends runtime usage and diagnostic telemetry by default without disclosure found in the inspected README, which is suspicious under the telemetry rules. The inspected event data does not show credential or file theft, so this does not support a malicious verdict.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running a CLI command, unless telemetry is disabled with TELEMETRY=0, false, or off.
Impact
The gateway receives usage and diagnostic data without disclosure found in the inspected README; no credential or file-content theft was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI records command, status, timing, selected flags, and masked error text, then posts events to the configured gateway.
AI rationale
The CLI sends runtime usage and diagnostic telemetry by default without disclosure found in the inspected README, which is suspicious under the telemetry rules. The inspected event data does not show credential or file theft, so this does not support a malicious verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI records a command-start event during normal command execution, including selected command-line flags.
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default and can be disabled with the TELEMETRY environment setting.
- Telemetry uploads include event details and error text, with secrets masked and errors truncated.
- Telemetry is posted to the configured gateway's /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry endpoint.
Evidence against
- The package is a CLI for managing AI coding assistants, and the inspected main entry point only re-exports modules.
- The command-start event filters out flags whose names contain “key”; the inspected telemetry code does not show automatic collection of credentials or file contents.
- No install or postinstall lifecycle scripts are declared.
