This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T01:02:05.845Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T01:03:19.929Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 1693 ms - **AI review time:** 71635 ms - **Total time:** 74084 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicit CLI install command adds hooks to supported AI-agent configurations. Those hooks collect activity and initiate uploads of derived session rollups to the configured Vibetime service, defaulting to an HTTP IP endpoint. - **Trigger:** User runs \`vibetime install\` (or the explicit \`upgrade\` command, which refreshes hooks). - **Impact:** User prompts, tool/permission activity, session metadata, and machine metadata can be transmitted to the remote service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T01:03:19.929Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit AI-agent hook installation and activity-rollup upload. - **Rationale:** Source confirms intentional, user-invoked cross-agent hook setup and telemetry upload, including an insecure default HTTP endpoint. It does not show npm lifecycle abuse or a concrete covert malware chain. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.vibetime/config.json, ~/.vibetime/machine-id - **Network endpoints:** http://121.196.224.82:3001/v3/agent/ingest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Explicit \`install\` command writes tracking hooks into AI-agent configuration., Installed Codex hooks invoke \`vibetime hook\` for prompts, tool use, permission requests, and stops., Collected session rollups are POSTed to a hard-coded HTTP endpoint with machine metadata. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook., Config mutation is reachable only through an explicit CLI \`install\` command., No remote code loading, eval, credential-file harvesting, or covert install-time execution found. ## Public findings ### 1.
