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. Source confirms an explicit user-command hook installer and local agent-history uploader, without npm lifecycle execution or a stealthy payload chain. Per policy, explicit agent configuration mutation is warn-worthy rather than block-worthy. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T11:43:08.933Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T11:44:14.732Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 918 ms - **AI review time:** 64123 ms - **Total time:** 65799 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:** Explicit setup installs activity-reporting hooks in supported AI-agent configurations. Hook execution triggers local session-history processing and authenticated telemetry upload; no install-time execution occurs. - **Trigger:** User runs \`vibetime install\`; later configured agent hooks run. - **Impact:** Agent prompts, tool metadata, project context, and usage-derived rollups can be collected and sent to VibeTime. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T11:44:14.732Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Agent-hook installation plus background session telemetry upload - **Rationale:** Source confirms an explicit user-command hook installer and local agent-history uploader, without npm lifecycle execution or a stealthy payload chain. Per policy, explicit agent configuration mutation is warn-worthy rather than block-worthy. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.pi/agent/extensions/vibetime.ts, ~/.vibetime/config.json, ~/.vibetime/session-context - **Network endpoints:** http://121.196.224.82:3001/v3/agent/ingest, https://registry.npmjs.org/@yhong91/vibetime/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** bin/vibetime.mjs explicitly installs hooks into Codex, Claude, and other agent configs., Installed hooks invoke \`vibetime hook\`, which starts a background backfill/upload flow., The backfill flow reads local agent session histories and POSTs rollups to the configured VibeTime API., Default API is http://121.196.224.82:3001 and supports bearer-token authentication. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook., Agent configuration changes require the explicit \`vibetime install\` command., Hook writes are generated/merged with overwrite safeguards and a dry-run option., npm installation occurs only in the explicit \`vibetime upgrade\` command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @yhong91/vibetime@0.1.40. - Review the evidence and your use of @yhong91/vibetime@0.1.40 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.
