Its explicit install command can add hooks to AI-agent configuration. - **Trigger:** User runs vibetime token/login, hook, backfill, or install commands. - **Impact:** Credential exposure and collection/upload of AI-agent activity metadata. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T12:21:59.627Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Bearer-token activity reporting to a hardcoded remote plus agent-hook installation. - **Attack narrative:** The package accepts and persists a VibeTime bearer token, then defaults network operations to an unauthenticated HTTP IP address rather than the documented service hostname. It sends the token in an Authorization header when uploading rollups. Separately, user-invoked installation adds hooks to AI-agent configuration, causing later activity collection. There is no install-time lifecycle trigger, but the credential-routing and telemetry behavior are concrete once the CLI is used. - **Rationale:** Source confirms a hardcoded non-HTTPS IP default receiving bearer-authenticated activity uploads. The absence of lifecycle scripts limits propagation but does not remove the concrete credential-exfiltration surface. - **Files touched:** ~/.vibetime/config.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json - **Network endpoints:** http://121.196.224.82:3001, 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:** Hardcoded HTTP endpoint 121.196.224.82:3001 is used as the default remote., User-supplied or persisted bearer token is sent in Authorization headers to that remote., Explicit install command writes vibetime hook commands into foreign AI-agent hook files., No lifecycle hook runs this automatically; the risky behavior requires CLI use. - **Evidence against:** package.json defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall script., Agent-hook installation is an explicit vibetime install command., Source exposes API URL and token overrides rather than concealing the remote. ## Public findings ### 1.
