Explicit CLI installation mutates supported AI-agent hook configuration, causing later agent events to invoke Vibetime. Those events trigger background metadata rollup uploads to the configured remote, defaulting to an HTTP IP address. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-31T16:56:41.704Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-31T16:57:34.961Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 975 ms - **AI review time:** 51526 ms - **Total time:** 53257 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit CLI installation mutates supported AI-agent hook configuration, causing later agent events to invoke Vibetime. Those events trigger background metadata rollup uploads to the configured remote, defaulting to an HTTP IP address. - **Trigger:** User runs \`vibetime install\` or \`vibetime upgrade\`; installed agent hooks later fire. - **Impact:** Persistent agent-event collection and transmission of activity metadata, machine identity, and bearer token when configured. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-31T16:57:34.961Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked agent hook installation and telemetry upload - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by source evidence: it has no lifecycle execution or stealth payload. Its explicit hook setup and automatic telemetry sync create a material, user-consented agent-extension lifecycle risk that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.vibetime/config.json, ~/.vibetime/machine-id, ~/.vibetime/session-context/\*.json, ~/.vibetime/backfill-state.json - **Network endpoints:** http://121.196.224.82:3001/v3/agent/ingest, https://registry.npmjs.org/@yhong91/vibetime/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** bin/vibetime.mjs:12007 installs hooks into AI-agent config only after explicit \`vibetime install\`., bin/vibetime.mjs:5781-5828 adds Codex hooks invoking \`vibetime hook --agent codex\`., bin/vibetime.mjs:12118-12224 turns hook events into background local history imports., bin/vibetime.mjs:11770-11817 posts activity rollups to hard-coded HTTP host 121.196.224.82:3001., bin/vibetime.mjs:11569-11605 persists token and machine ID under ~/.vibetime. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Entrypoint runs only as the declared \`vibetime\` CLI., Hook installation is an explicit user command and supports detected targets/dry-run., Source states imports are metadata-only and rollups use counts, hashes, and file activity metadata., No eval, remote code loading, credential harvesting, or destructive local action found. ## Public findings ### 1.
