AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package sends default runtime usage telemetry to PostHog and provides an opt-out, but I found no disclosure of this behavior in the package snapshot. This merits a warning for telemetry; the reviewed credential flows target Zuplo’s own service.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
When a CLI command is invoked.
Impact
PostHog can associate CLI usage with a service user, account or project, or a machine-derived identifier.
Mechanism
Global CLI middleware captures an invocation event. Analytics can attach the Zuplo user ID, account, project and CI flag; ZUPLO_DO_NOT_TRACK disables sending.
AI rationale
The package sends default runtime usage telemetry to PostHog and provides an opt-out, but I found no disclosure of this behavior in the package snapshot. This merits a warning for telemetry; the reviewed credential flows target Zuplo’s own service.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI’s global command middleware captures a “zuplo cli invoked” event on invocation.
- Analytics sends to PostHog by default; setting ZUPLO_DO_NOT_TRACK disables it.
- Events can include the Zuplo user ID, account and project; the user ID comes from the saved auth token’s subject or a hashed machine ID.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts.
- The Zuplo auth token used for account lookup is sent to the configurable Zuplo developer API endpoint, its intended service.
- No source or package documentation disclosure of the default runtime analytics was found.
