AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source shows user-invoked telemetry and migration behavior, not installation-time persistence or secret theft. Incomplete inspectability of bundled artifacts warrants a warning rather than a clean decision.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Running the CLI, especially its dev-portal migration command.
Impact
A stable machine-derived identifier and command context may be sent to PostHog; migration output depends on remote CDN content.
Mechanism
PostHog telemetry and user-commanded remote template migration.
AI rationale
The inspected source shows user-invoked telemetry and migration behavior, not installation-time persistence or secret theft. Incomplete inspectability of bundled artifacts warrants a warning rather than a clean decision.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 72.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI sends analytics containing a machine-derived identifier, command account/project values, and CI value to PostHog unless an opt-out environment variable is set.
- An explicit dev-portal migration command downloads templates from cdn.jsdelivr.net and writes project files.
- The package bundles large minified runtime components and a non-text ZIP test artifact, preventing a fully conclusive clean decision under the required coverage constraints.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle script.
- The executable entry point only imports the CLI after the user invokes the zup command.
- The observed network and file-writing behavior is in named CLI features rather than installation-time code.
