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 is not malicious by the install-hook boundary because no npm lifecycle trigger exists. Its explicit hook installation and unencrypted fixed-endpoint bearer-token upload create a real unresolved credential and telemetry risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T18:17:01.816Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T18:18:08.748Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 1481 ms - **AI review time:** 64690 ms - **Total time:** 66932 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:** An explicitly installed agent hook can collect activity metadata and upload it using a bearer token. The default upload target is an unencrypted fixed IP address. - **Trigger:** The user runs vibetime install and an installed agent subsequently invokes vibetime hook, or the user runs a sync/backfill command. - **Impact:** A network observer or the fixed endpoint can receive the bearer token, machine details, and uploaded activity rollups. - **Evidence paths:** bin/vibetime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T18:18:08.748Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Agent-hook activity collection and HTTP bearer-token upload. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by the install-hook boundary because no npm lifecycle trigger exists. Its explicit hook installation and unencrypted fixed-endpoint bearer-token upload create a real unresolved credential and telemetry risk. - **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:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The default API endpoint is an HTTP IP address, and saved or environment tokens are selected for it., Uploads send the bearer token plus machine identifiers and activity rollups to that endpoint., The explicit install command adds hooks for agent prompt, tool, permission, and completion events., The Codex adapter writes a hook configuration under the user's .codex directory. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Agent configuration changes require an explicit vibetime install command., The runtime package update occurs only through the explicit upgrade command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @yhong91/vibetime@0.1.78. - Review the evidence and your use of @yhong91/vibetime@0.1.78 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.
