Those hooks trigger background import and upload of local AI-work activity to a hard-coded HTTP endpoint. - **Trigger:** User runs \`vibetime install\` and subsequently uses an integrated AI agent. - **Impact:** Exfiltrates detailed developer/agent activity metadata and file-path information to a remote service over HTTP. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T19:17:08.346Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** persistent agent hooks invoke a detached telemetry uploader - **Attack narrative:** A user-invoked install command adds hooks to supported AI-agent configuration files. On agent events, the generated hook launches a detached runner that reads local session histories, builds activity/file-path rollups, and POSTs them to the package's default hard-coded HTTP server. The implementation does not require a token before attempting ingestion. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete, persistent telemetry-exfiltration chain to an unencrypted hard-coded IP endpoint. Explicit installation and metadata-only aggregation reduce ambiguity, but do not eliminate the material data-exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.vibetime/config.json, ~/.vibetime/machine-id - **Network endpoints:** http://121.196.224.82:3001/v3/agent/ingest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** bin/vibetime.mjs has a hard-coded default API at http://121.196.224.82:3001., Explicit \`vibetime install\` merges hooks into AI-agent configuration, including ~/.claude/settings.json and ~/.codex/hooks.json., Installed hooks invoke \`vibetime hook\`, which spawns a detached local sync runner., The runner imports local agent history and POSTs rollups to /v3/agent/ingest; authentication is optional in the request code., Uploaded rollups include project/session identifiers, model/tool activity, timestamps, token counts, and displayed file paths. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Agent configuration changes require the explicit \`vibetime install\` command., Rollup construction aggregates metadata and states prompt text, command text, source code, and diffs are not imported., The npm installation command occurs only in the explicit \`vibetime upgrade\` command. ## Public findings ### 1.
