## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 15 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 7.13.3
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-29T23:22:12.283Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-29T23:22:54.332Z
- **Download time:** 509 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1247 ms
- **AI review time:** 40292 ms
- **Total time:** 42049 ms

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Undisclosed runtime usage telemetry is sent to PostHog on CLI invocation.

- **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.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T23:22:54.332Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI posts an invocation event with a random distinct ID, package-manager and runtime details, and selected setup options.

- **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.

- **Network endpoints:** https://app.posthog.com/capture/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to create-zuplo-api@7.13.3.

- Review the evidence and your use of create-zuplo-api@7.13.3 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
