@vibelet/cli@1.2.183

Cross-platform CLI for installing and running the Vibelet daemon

AI Security Review

scanned 29d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

There is no lifecycle script, and the checked entry points only implement a user-run daemon, an npm registry version check, and a call to Anthropic’s own usage API. Obfuscation and keychain access stay inside that product behavior and do not show a separate exfiltration or install-time control-surface write.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A person runs the vibelet binary; nothing in package.json runs on npm install.

Impact

No unconsented install mutation, secret theft to an unrelated host, or remote payload execution was established from the inspected entry points.

Mechanism

The launcher may start a local daemon and optional tunnel and the daemon may query Anthropic usage with a Claude credential already on the machine.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 72.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes a user-run vibelet binary and defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The CLI entry checks only the public npm registry for a newer @vibelet/cli release and stores the result under the user home directory.
The daemon’s visible network call for usage data is a GET to Anthropic’s own OAuth usage API, not a hidden third-party collector.

Evidence against

dist/index.cjs is obfuscated and can read the macOS keychain item named Claude Code-credentials before that Anthropic request.
On an explicit CLI run the launcher can start a Cloudflare quick tunnel and a local daemon under ~/.vibelet.
