@xship/cli@0.0.143
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 package sends default-on runtime telemetry to its own API, including command lifecycle data, and the README contains no telemetry disclosure. The inspected flow does not establish credential exfiltration or collection of command arguments, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running a CLI command; events are queued and flushed after command execution.
Impact
Xship receives usage and diagnostic data without a documented disclosure or default opt-in.
Mechanism
The package sends command lifecycle events and platform/runtime metadata to the Xship telemetry API. Events may include optional detail or error fields.
AI rationale
The package sends default-on runtime telemetry to its own API, including command lifecycle data, and the README contains no telemetry disclosure. The inspected flow does not establish credential exfiltration or collection of command arguments, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default; it can be disabled with the XSHIP telemetry environment setting.
- Telemetry events include command, step, status, duration, and optional detail or error fields.
- The CLI sends queued events to the Xship telemetry API and flushes them after command execution.
Evidence against
- The manifest describes a CLI for configuring coding tools, and its process execution and file changes are consistent with that purpose.
- The inspected telemetry path does not show credentials or command arguments being included in the event payload.
