@xship/cli@0.0.156
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 CLI sends runtime telemetry by default, including command events and diagnostic details, without disclosing the collection in the package README. The destination is the package’s own gateway and errors are masked, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the xship CLI; telemetry is enabled by default.
Impact
Command usage and diagnostic details leave the user’s machine without telemetry disclosure in the package README.
Mechanism
The CLI records command events and posts event details with runtime and install metadata to the configured gateway.
AI rationale
The CLI sends runtime telemetry by default, including command events and diagnostic details, without disclosing the collection in the package README. The destination is the package’s own gateway and errors are masked, 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 is disabled only when TELEMETRY is set to 0, false, or off.
- CLI command start events include option arguments other than flags whose names contain “key”.
- Telemetry events include the command, step, status, duration, masked error text, and optional details, then are posted to the telemetry endpoint.
- The package’s default gateway is https://ai.xship.live.
Evidence against
- Telemetry is sent to the package’s configured gateway, not an unrelated collector.
- Error text is passed through a secret-masking function before it is recorded.
- Users can disable telemetry with the TELEMETRY environment variable.
