@vibelet/clinpm
Advisory published Updated
@vibelet/cli is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10720) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.2.154). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @vibelet/cli (npm)
What this malware does
The @vibelet/cli package ships a daemon bundle (dist/index.cjs, invoked by the vibelet bin and by vibelet start/restart/reset) that starts an HTTP+WebSocket server, spawns an interactive PTY running process.env.SHELL via node-pty, and pipes network-received 'input' and 'resize' messages into that PTY. By default the CLI provisions a public Cloudflare tunnel (trycloudflare.com, using the bundled cloudflared and ws dependencies) that fronts this endpoint, so any remote party that pairs with the daemon (or obtains the tunnel URL together with the short-lived pair token) can execute arbitrary commands in a full interactive shell on the installer's host. The daemon bundle is packed with obfuscator.io-style transforms (string-array dispatcher _0x9d44, hex-encoded identifiers, control-flow flattening) rather than ordinary minification, which obscures the network-to-PTY path.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @vibelet/cli (version 1.2.154).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @vibelet/cli from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If @vibelet/cli was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks @vibelet/cli-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
