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:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T14:33:10.209Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T14:33:53.257Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 2048 ms - **AI review time:** 40239 ms - **Total time:** 43048 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When explicitly installed, the CLI adds AI-agent hooks that collect activity and trigger background synchronization. It uploads rollups with the configured bearer token and machine metadata to an unencrypted fixed IP address. - **Trigger:** A user runs vibetime install and then an installed agent emits a hooked event. - **Impact:** Agent activity, machine metadata, and the VibeTime bearer token are exposed to the configured remote service; the default service uses plaintext HTTP. - **Evidence paths:** bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T14:33:53.257Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Agent-hook telemetry collection and HTTP rollup upload. - **Rationale:** No automatic lifecycle execution or self-dependency chain is present, so the source does not meet the install-hook abuse block threshold. The explicit hook integration and plaintext upload of activity data and bearer authentication to a fixed IP warrant a warning. - **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:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The explicit install command can add hooks to Codex that invoke this CLI for session, prompt, permission, and tool events., Hook execution reads hook input and starts a background local sync process., Activity rollups and a configured bearer token are sent to a fixed HTTP endpoint at 121.196.224.82. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Hook installation is reached through an explicit CLI install command, not package installation., The npm upgrade action runs only when the user invokes vibetime upgrade. ## Public findings ### 1.
