create-zuplo-api@7.12.2
Create Zuplo API with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 19d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source shows a conditional credential exposure path: a saved Zuplo token is sent to an environment-configurable endpoint without a host restriction. The default endpoint and user-selected server-project setup are package-aligned, so this supports a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Server-project account lookup or deployment lookup during CLI setup, after server-project setup is selected.
Impact
A redirected endpoint could receive the saved token. The default recipient is Zuplo’s developer API, so the risk depends on endpoint configuration.
Mechanism
The CLI reads its saved access token and sends it as a bearer credential to the configured developer API endpoint without validating that endpoint against Zuplo hosts.
AI rationale
The source shows a conditional credential exposure path: a saved Zuplo token is sent to an environment-configurable endpoint without a host restriction. The default endpoint and user-selected server-project setup are package-aligned, so this supports a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes the CLI entrypoint and has no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI reads a saved Zuplo access token from its local authentication file.
- The developer API destination can be replaced through an environment variable, and the CLI sends the saved token as a bearer credential to that destination.
- When server-project setup runs, it can use the saved token to look up accounts and project deployments.
- Server-project creation is called only when that feature is selected; the interactive prompt defaults to yes, while non-interactive setup skips it unless explicitly enabled.
- Agent configuration is written into the generated project only when agent choices are provided.
Evidence against
- The default credential recipient is Zuplo’s developer API, consistent with the CLI’s account and project setup.
- The agent setup is an explicit CLI choice and writes project-local configuration; no install hook performs it.
