@xship/cli@0.0.141
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Xship AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends runtime telemetry by default, but its README does not disclose telemetry or explain how to disable it. The collected fields are limited to usage and machine metadata in the inspected flow, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the CLI; queued telemetry is flushed at command completion.
Impact
The service receives usage and machine metadata without documented runtime telemetry disclosure; no theft of unrelated credentials or file contents was identified.
Mechanism
Telemetry is enabled unless disabled by an environment setting. It sends install, platform, runtime, command, event, and sanitized error fields to the telemetry endpoint.
AI rationale
The CLI sends runtime telemetry by default, but its README does not disclose telemetry or explain how to disable it. The collected fields are limited to usage and machine metadata in the inspected flow, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Network endpoints1

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default and can be disabled with a telemetry environment setting.
- Each CLI command flushes queued telemetry when it finishes.
- Telemetry includes an install ID, platform and runtime details, command and event fields, and sanitized error text; it is POSTed to the configured service base URL.
Evidence against
- The telemetry request goes to the configured Xship service endpoint and uses the configured Xship API key.
- The inspected telemetry payload does not show collection of other services’ credentials or file contents.
