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:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T10:14:30.134Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T10:15:41.324Z - **Download time:** 753 ms - **Static scan time:** 2015 ms - **AI review time:** 68420 ms - **Total time:** 71190 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicit CLI installation configures agent hooks that collect activity and trigger local background synchronization. Rollups are uploaded to a hard-coded HTTP service. - **Trigger:** User runs \`vibetime install\`; subsequently, configured agent hook events invoke \`vibetime hook\`. - **Impact:** Prompt/tool activity metadata and machine identifiers may be transmitted; the default endpoint lacks transport encryption. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T10:15:41.324Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-installed AI-agent activity collection and remote rollup upload. - **Rationale:** No automatic npm lifecycle mutation or stealth payload execution was found. The explicit agent-hook and unencrypted telemetry capability is a real privacy and control-surface risk that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** bin/vibetime.mjs, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.vibetime/config.json - **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:** Explicit \`install\` command writes AI-agent integration hooks., Codex hooks report prompt and tool activity through \`vibetime hook\`., Activity rollups are POSTed to a hard-coded HTTP IP endpoint., Hook handling starts a detached background sync process. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Agent-control changes require the user to invoke \`vibetime install\` or an installed hook. ## Public findings ### 1.
