Create Zuplo API with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic inspection supports a warning for conditional credential forwarding to an unrestricted configured endpoint and guarded agent integration. Explicit activation and package-aligned defaults do not establish malware intent or justify a publication block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Run the CLI with server-project setup enabled and ZUPLO_DEVELOPER_API_ENDPOINT overridden; separately, select agents through the prompt or --agents.
Impact
A configured endpoint can receive a credential intended for Zuplo. Selected agent configuration permits plugin and MCP capabilities; no package-managed automatic update loop or malicious persistence was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI reads a stored access token and sends it as bearer authentication to the configured API endpoint. Agent setup writes local instructions and settings, enables Zuplo plugins, and downloads selected skills from Zuplo's tools repository.
AI rationale
Static inspection supports a warning for conditional credential forwarding to an unrestricted configured endpoint and guarded agent integration. Explicit activation and package-aligned defaults do not establish malware intent or justify a publication block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 95.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json declares no automatic install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency.
- Agent setup requires CLI selection or --agents; noninteractive defaults skip it.
- Selected agents receive project-local configuration; Claude settings enable Zuplo marketplace plugins and all project MCP servers.
- Server-project setup reads an existing Zuplo access token from the user's authentication file.
- ZUPLO_DEVELOPER_API_ENDPOINT can replace the intended service endpoint without destination validation; account requests send the stored bearer token there.
- The active server-project setup calls token reading and account fetching when no account is supplied.
Evidence against
- The default API recipient is https://dev.zuplo.com, and server-project setup requires a CLI flag or affirmative prompt.
- Agent setup is explicitly selected and confined to the generated project; no covert install-time mutation was identified.
