AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reviewed CLI sends runtime analytics by default, and the package README does not disclose the collection; an environment-variable opt-out is provided. This fits warning-level telemetry rather than a credential theft or other concrete attack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Running a CLI command.
Impact
Usage data and a stable machine identifier are associated with the event; optional fields include user, account, and project identifiers.
Mechanism
The CLI captures an invocation event and sends it through PostHog to app.posthog.com unless ZUPLO_DO_NOT_TRACK is set.
AI rationale
The reviewed CLI sends runtime analytics by default, and the package README does not disclose the collection; an environment-variable opt-out is provided. This fits warning-level telemetry rather than a credential theft or other concrete attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI registers a middleware that captures an invocation event when a command runs.
- Analytics are sent to app.posthog.com by default; setting ZUPLO_DO_NOT_TRACK disables them.
- The event can include the CLI command and version, package-manager metadata, CI status, and optional user, account, and project identifiers. Its distinct ID defaults to a hash of the machine ID.
Evidence against
- The package manifest has no install lifecycle scripts.
- The CLI is presented as Zuplo’s command-line tool, and its API client uses the configured Zuplo developer API endpoint for authenticated requests.
- Analytics have an opt-out environment variable.
