This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-20T10:01:29.420Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-20T10:03:18.016Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 9106 ms - **AI review time:** 98727 ms - **Total time:** 108596 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On explicit CLI execution, the package installs and runs a persistent Vibelet daemon with remote-access support. Its obfuscated daemon scans local Codex/Claude session data for the remote coding product; no concrete third-party exfiltration chain was established. - **Trigger:** User runs vibelet or npx @vibelet/cli. - **Impact:** Local AI-session data may be exposed through the package's paired remote coding service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/vibelet.mjs, dist/index.cjs, dist/inventory-scan-worker.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T10:03:18.016Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Persistent remote daemon with local AI-session inventory scanning. - **Rationale:** The package has dangerous remote-session inventory and persistence capabilities, obscured in its daemon bundle, but direct inspection found no lifecycle execution, foreign agent-control mutation, or confirmed exfiltration behavior. Warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** dist/vibelet.mjs, dist/index.cjs, dist/inventory-scan-worker.cjs, ~/.codex/sessions, ~/.codex/archived\_sessions, ~/.vibelet - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@vibelet/cli/latest, https://vibelet.icu ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Obfuscated daemon bundle invokes an inventory-scan worker., Worker enumerates Codex and Claude session directories., User-invoked CLI installs a persistent daemon and defaults to remote access., CLI writes a Vibelet-only launchd/systemd service. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hooks., The only manifest entrypoint is the user-invoked vibelet bin., Observed registry update check targets npmjs.org; no session-exfiltration endpoint was found., No foreign AI-agent configuration mutation was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
