@xship/cli@0.0.167
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Xship AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends runtime telemetry by default, including command and diagnostic event fields, without disclosure found in the reviewed source. Its destination is the package's own configured gateway, and the inspected code masks common secrets in error text, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Most ordinary CLI commands, with telemetry queued and flushed during command execution.
Impact
The service receives usage and diagnostic metadata without an explicit opt-in or disclosure found in the reviewed source.
Mechanism
The CLI sends command and operational event metadata to its configured Xship gateway. Error text is masked, but optional event details are included as supplied.
AI rationale
The CLI sends runtime telemetry by default, including command and diagnostic event fields, without disclosure found in the reviewed source. Its destination is the package's own configured gateway, and the inspected code masks common secrets in error text, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is on by default; it can be disabled with the XSHIP_TELEMETRY environment setting.
- Ordinary CLI commands record command flags and queue command, step, status, duration, error, and detail fields; the CLI flushes the queue after execution.
- Telemetry also includes an install ID, brand, CLI version, OS, OS release, architecture, and Node version. Error text is masked and truncated, while optional detail is sent as supplied.
- Telemetry is POSTed to the configured gateway using the configured API key. The package's default gateway is https://ai.xship.live.
Evidence against
- The package describes itself as a tool for configuring coding assistants for Xship AI, and telemetry goes to its own configured gateway.
- The telemetry code masks home-directory paths and common secret patterns in error text before sending it.
- The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts, and its import entry point only re-exports modules.
