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:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T02:28:16.418Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T02:29:38.055Z - **Download time:** 1009 ms - **Static scan time:** 8574 ms - **AI review time:** 72053 ms - **Total time:** 81637 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicitly run CLI installs a persistent user daemon, enables remote pairing by default, and exposes Codex/Claude takeover commands. No npm lifecycle execution was found. - **Trigger:** User runs vibelet or npx @vibelet/cli. - **Impact:** A paired remote client can access the daemon's exposed coding/session capabilities; obfuscated daemon code prevents high-confidence verification of its full behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/vibelet.mjs, dist/index.cjs, dist/inventory-scan-worker.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T02:29:38.055Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** persistent remote daemon with agent-terminal control - **Rationale:** The package is not proven malicious, but its explicit remote daemon, persistence, agent-control capability, and heavily obfuscated daemon artifact warrant a warning. No lifecycle hook or unconsented install-time control-surface mutation was found. - **Files touched:** ~/.vibelet, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/dev.vibelet.daemon.plist, ~/.config/systemd/user/vibelet-daemon.service - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@vibelet/cli/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** User CLI invocation installs/starts a daemon with remote access enabled by default., Startup calls backend.install() and backend.start()., The CLI writes and bootstraps per-user launchd/systemd services., CLI exposes Claude and Codex takeover commands., Daemon source is substantially obfuscated, limiting auditability. - **Evidence against:** Manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Persistence is triggered by an explicit CLI command, not npm installation., README and CLI help disclose daemon, remote-access, and pairing behavior., The visible update check targets the npm registry only. ## Public findings ### 1.
