@zerogpu/worker@0.5.0
ZeroGPU Worker — join the ZeroGPU network from a Docker container or any Node.js host (servers, macOS desktop apps, developer laptops), and serve inference locally.
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe operator key is used with the worker’s own ZeroGPU service, and the package has no install-time hook. However, starting the worker automatically uploads operational events that can include model identifiers and error messages, with no documented opt-out found in the inspected package materials; this meets the warning-only telemetry criterion.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the worker starts its lifecycle; events are also flushed periodically while it runs.
Impact
This discloses operational and model metadata to the service without a documented telemetry opt-out in the inspected package materials.
Mechanism
The worker POSTs event batches to the configured ZeroGPU events endpoint, including device and session identifiers and event fields such as model IDs and error messages.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Starting the worker starts its lifecycle and emits runtime events; the CLI entrypoint invokes the worker when run directly.
- The telemetry collector schedules event flushing every 10 seconds.
- Event records can include error messages, model IDs and versions, task types, durations, byte counts, and event data.
- Event batches are POSTed with the operator key and device/session identifiers to the worker’s configured events endpoint.
- The default service hosts are ZeroGPU’s production, staging, and development device services.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is not an install hook.
- The operator key is read for the worker’s stated purpose of joining the ZeroGPU service.
- No evidence found that prompts, model outputs, or unrelated service credentials are sent in telemetry.
