create-zuplo-api@7.13.6
Create Zuplo API with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source shows undisclosed runtime telemetry enabled by default, which warrants a warning under the review rules. The separate credential flow sends a Zuplo token to the Zuplo developer API for account lookup during server-project setup, and the telemetry event does not include that token.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The user runs the CLI; telemetry can be disabled with ZUPLO_DO_NOT_TRACK.
Impact
The publisher receives usage metadata; the source does not show credentials, paths, or command output in this event.
Mechanism
The CLI sends a PostHog capture request with a random distinct ID, package-manager and platform metadata, version, and selected setup options.
AI rationale
The source shows undisclosed runtime telemetry enabled by default, which warrants a warning under the review rules. The separate credential flow sends a Zuplo token to the Zuplo developer API for account lookup during server-project setup, and the telemetry event does not include that token.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Running the CLI sends a runtime event to app.posthog.com unless ZUPLO_DO_NOT_TRACK is set.
- The event uses a random distinct ID and reports package-manager, platform, version, and selected setup options.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts; the flagged behavior is triggered by running the CLI.
- The Zuplo access token is sent to the Zuplo developer API for account lookup during server-project setup.
