Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 0.0.166 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package’s main behavior fits its stated CLI purpose, but it sends default-on runtime telemetry that can include error text and command details without a clear disclosure in the inspected source. This warrants a warning; the reviewed code does not establish credential theft or unrelated data collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T19:19:50.729Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T19:20:30.029Z - **Download time:** 1106 ms - **Static scan time:** 2793 ms - **AI review time:** 35400 ms - **Total time:** 39300 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Default-on runtime telemetry sends command events and error text to the Xship gateway; no attack was identified beyond this telemetry risk. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI and completing commands that generate telemetry events. - **Impact:** Command metadata and potentially identifying or sensitive error text may be sent without a clear disclosure in the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** dist/lib/telemetry.js, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T19:20:30.029Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Events are batched and posted to /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry on the configured gateway. TELEMETRY=0, false, or off disables collection. - **Rationale:** The package’s main behavior fits its stated CLI purpose, but it sends default-on runtime telemetry that can include error text and command details without a clear disclosure in the inspected source. This warrants a warning; the reviewed code does not establish credential theft or unrelated data collection. - **Files touched:** dist/lib/telemetry.js - **Network endpoints:** Configured Xship gateway: /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Telemetry is enabled by default unless TELEMETRY is set to 0, false, or off., Telemetry includes command, step, status, duration, error messages, and optional details; error text is masked and truncated., The CLI starts telemetry during command execution and flushes it when the command finishes. - **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as a CLI for configuring coding tools, and its manifest has no lifecycle scripts., Telemetry sends platform and version fields to the configured Xship gateway; the inspected code does not show credential discovery or unrelated-host transmission., Persistent shell-profile changes are implemented in an explicit environment-writing function. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @xship/cli@0.0.166. - Review the evidence and your use of @xship/cli@0.0.166 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
