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:** 2026-08-29T17:55:57.402Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T17:57:14.583Z - **Download time:** 1012 ms - **Static scan time:** 2123 ms - **AI review time:** 74045 ms - **Total time:** 77181 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicit setup command installs hooks into AI-agent configuration files. Those hooks collect local agent activity and send rollups with any configured bearer token to an unencrypted fixed IP endpoint. - **Trigger:** The user runs vibetime install, then an installed AI-agent hook runs. - **Impact:** Agent activity metadata and the configured VibeTime bearer token can be disclosed to the fixed endpoint; hooks also persist until explicitly removed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T17:57:14.583Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Agent-hook installation followed by background activity upload. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle script and its setup is user-invoked, so source does not establish malicious install-hook abuse. However, it persists AI-agent hooks and transmits activity data plus a bearer token to a fixed unencrypted IP endpoint. - **Files touched:** bin/vibetime.mjs, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.vibetime/config.json, ~/.vibetime/sync-local-trigger.json, ~/.vibetime/sync-local-trigger.lock - **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:** The default API is an unencrypted fixed IP address and the client adds a saved bearer token to requests., The explicit install command writes VibeTime hook commands into AI-agent configuration files, including Codex hooks., Installed hooks launch a detached background importer that reads local agent history and uploads rollups., The package asks users to save an upload token, which is then used with the fixed default endpoint. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Hook and configuration changes require an explicit CLI command; importing or installing the package does not invoke setup., The source contains no self-dependency, obfuscated payload, or automatic foreign-control-surface mutation. ## Public findings ### 1.
