Its authenticated remote client can access files and drive Claude/Codex workflows; this is a high-impact but documented user-invoked capability. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T09:28:12.295Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T09:29:19.410Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 6858 ms - **AI review time:** 59496 ms - **Total time:** 67115 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Running \`vibelet\` starts a persistent, remotely pairable coding daemon. Its authenticated remote client can access files and drive Claude/Codex workflows; this is a high-impact but documented user-invoked capability. - **Trigger:** User runs the \`vibelet\` bin/start command. - **Impact:** A paired remote device can operate the host coding environment and project files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/vibelet.mjs, dist/index.cjs, dist/inventory-scan-worker.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T09:29:19.410Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Persistent daemon with paired remote file and AI-agent control - **Rationale:** This is a documented but dangerous remote-agent control product, not confirmed malware. Its obfuscated runtime and broad local session/file access warrant a warning. - **Files touched:** dist/vibelet.mjs, dist/index.cjs, dist/inventory-scan-worker.cjs - **Network endpoints:** https://exp.host/--/api/v2/push/send, https://registry.npmjs.org/@vibelet/cli/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`dist/index.cjs\` is heavily obfuscated and implements a daemon., The daemon scans Claude/Codex session directories via \`dist/inventory-scan-worker.cjs\`., User-invoked startup installs persistent service backends and starts a detached daemon., The paired daemon exposes file write/upload and agent-control actions over WebSocket/HTTP., Default CLI flow enables a Cloudflare remote-access tunnel. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no npm lifecycle scripts., The sole entrypoint is the explicit \`vibelet\` CLI bin., \`README.md\` documents the daemon, remote pairing, and Cloudflare behavior., No confirmed covert exfiltration to a package-controlled receiver was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
