@vibelet/cli@1.2.182

Cross-platform CLI for installing and running the Vibelet daemon

AI Security Review

scanned 29d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Obfuscated credential handling with an unverifiable authenticated destination is a concrete unresolved dangerous capability. The absence of lifecycle hooks and the explicit CLI trigger do not establish malicious install behavior.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user runs the vibelet CLI.

Impact

This creates unresolved exposure risk for Claude credentials and agent-session access; no automatic install-time attack was confirmed.

Mechanism

The launcher installs the bundled daemon; the daemon reads .claude/.credentials.json and places an extracted OAuth value in a Bearer header for an obfuscated fetch destination.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/index.cjsdist/vibelet.mjs.claude/.credentials.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package exposes an explicit CLI binary and has no npm lifecycle hook.
The obfuscated daemon reads the local Claude credentials file and extracts OAuth data.
The daemon uses that extracted value as a Bearer authorization header, but the destination is hidden behind an obfuscated value.
Running the CLI installs and starts a daemon service.

Evidence against

No install, preinstall, or postinstall hook was present in package.json.
The inspected service installation occurs after explicit CLI execution, not during package installation.
