@xship/cli@0.0.154
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Xship AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package performs runtime telemetry by default and does not disclose it in its README, so this is suspicious under the telemetry rules. The inspected code sends telemetry and any configured API key to the package’s own configured gateway, with no evidence of unrelated credential collection or install-time behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI with telemetry enabled, which is the default.
Impact
The vendor can receive command usage and error diagnostics without a disclosed consent notice. The source masks common secret formats, but masking does not make this undisclosed collection expected.
Mechanism
The CLI queues command events and posts them to the configured gateway’s telemetry endpoint; the request may include the configured gateway API key.
AI rationale
The package performs runtime telemetry by default and does not disclose it in its README, so this is suspicious under the telemetry rules. The inspected code sends telemetry and any configured API key to the package’s own configured gateway, with no evidence of unrelated credential collection or install-time behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI records command names, selected flags, success or failure status, duration, and error messages for telemetry.
- Telemetry sends those events to the Xship gateway by default; the README has no telemetry disclosure.
- The CLI entry point runs a command and then exits when telemetry is pending.
Evidence against
- The manifest defines no install lifecycle scripts.
- Telemetry is sent to the configured Xship gateway, and any API key is sent to that same configured service.
- The telemetry code masks home paths and common secret formats in error messages.
