create-zuplo-api@7.13.3
Create Zuplo API with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe default, undisclosed runtime telemetry fits the review rules for suspicious telemetry, though its inspected payload is limited to usage and runtime metadata. No credential theft or other malicious behavior was established.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Each invocation of the create-zuplo-api CLI, unless ZUPLO_DO_NOT_TRACK is set.
Impact
The collector learns limited usage and environment metadata. No credential or command-output exfiltration was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI posts an invocation event with a random distinct ID, package-manager and runtime details, and selected setup options.
AI rationale
The default, undisclosed runtime telemetry fits the review rules for suspicious telemetry, though its inspected payload is limited to usage and runtime metadata. No credential theft or other malicious behavior was established.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Every CLI invocation sends a create-invocation event to app.posthog.com by default; ZUPLO_DO_NOT_TRACK disables it.
- The event uses a generated random distinct ID, saved through the package's configuration store.
- The event contains package-manager and runtime details plus project setup choices; no credentials or command output were found in the payload.
Evidence against
- The reported telemetry payload is limited to usage and runtime metadata, rather than credentials or project file contents.
- The telemetry request has a one-second timeout and errors are ignored.
- The package is a project-generation CLI; its Zuplo account token flow targets Zuplo's own developer API when server-project setup is selected.
