Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.1.69 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has a concrete, user-invoked agent-hook and activity-upload capability with a fixed unencrypted default endpoint. It lacks npm install lifecycle hooks, so the source supports a warning rather than a malware block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T21:47:06.757Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T21:56:05.704Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 1448 ms - **AI review time:** 536737 ms - **Total time:** 538947 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When a user runs the install command, the CLI adds hooks to supported AI-agent configuration. Those hooks can later send activity rollups, a user-supplied token, and machine metadata to the configured endpoint; the built-in default is an HTTP IP address. - **Trigger:** A user runs vibetime install and subsequently uses an instrumented agent. - **Impact:** Agent activity metadata and the VibeTime token may be exposed to the configured service; the default transport is unencrypted HTTP. - **Evidence paths:** bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T21:56:05.704Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-installed agent hooks upload activity rollups to a configurable remote service. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete, user-invoked agent-hook and activity-upload capability with a fixed unencrypted default endpoint. It lacks npm install lifecycle hooks, so the source supports a warning rather than a malware block. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/hooks.json - **Network endpoints:** http://121.196.224.82:3001, http://121.196.224.82:3001/v3/agent/ingest, registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit install command writes VibeTime hook configuration into the Codex hooks file., The hook configuration can report activity to a default HTTP endpoint and includes the configured bearer token and machine metadata., The upgrade command performs a global npm installation only when the user runs the upgrade command. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Configuration and hook installation are exposed as user-invoked CLI commands, not automatic package-install behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @yhong91/vibetime@0.1.69. - Review the evidence and your use of @yhong91/vibetime@0.1.69 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
