## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.1.36
- **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.

This is a concrete, user-invoked AI-agent telemetry and configuration capability, not an unconsented install-time compromise. The default remote transport and broad hook coverage warrant a warning.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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:** An explicit user install configures hooks in supported AI-agent clients. Hook events trigger background collection of local session metadata and upload it to the configured VibeTime API; the default is an unencrypted IP-hosted HTTP endpoint.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`vibetime install\`, \`vibetime upgrade\`, or an installed agent hook fires.

- **Impact:** Agent activity and machine metadata may be transmitted to the configured remote service.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vibetime.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-27T20:56:54.746Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Agent-hook installation plus background telemetry upload.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete, user-invoked AI-agent telemetry and configuration capability, not an unconsented install-time compromise. The default remote transport and broad hook coverage warrant a warning.

- **Files touched:** ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.vibetime/config.json, ~/.vibetime/machine-id, ~/.vibetime/sync-local-trigger-state.json, ~/.vibetime/sync-local-trigger.lock

- **Network endpoints:** http://121.196.224.82:3001/v3/agent/ingest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** bin/vibetime.mjs: explicit \`install\` merges hooks into AI-agent configuration files., Installed hooks invoke \`vibetime hook\`, which starts a background sync process., The sync imports local agent-session metadata and POSTs rollups to the default HTTP API., Default telemetry endpoint is http://121.196.224.82:3001/v3/agent/ingest.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle script., Hook/config mutation requires an explicit \`vibetime install\` or \`upgrade\` command., Writes are scoped to selected/detected agent configs and merge existing hook JSON., Source states rollups exclude prompt text, command text, source code, and diffs.
