## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 7.9.20
- **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 selected-agent setup is user-triggered and limited to the generated project, but it adds AI-agent configuration and skills. This warrants a warning for AI-agent capability abuse; the inspected source does not show an active attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-10T01:02:29.879Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-10T01:03:11.754Z
- **Download time:** 1267 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1297 ms
- **AI review time:** 39310 ms
- **Total time:** 41875 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:** The CLI can configure AI-agent files in a newly created project and add Zuplo skills for agents the user selects. This is a guarded agent configuration capability; no confirmed attack was identified.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the project creation CLI and selects one or more AI coding agents.

- **Impact:** The generated project gains agent instructions, a Zuplo documentation MCP server configuration, and selected skills.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T01:03:11.754Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI writes agent instruction and MCP configuration files, and downloads selected skill files from Zuplo's tools repository.

- **Rationale:** The selected-agent setup is user-triggered and limited to the generated project, but it adds AI-agent configuration and skills. This warrants a warning for AI-agent capability abuse; the inspected source does not show an active attack.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.js, package.json, .mcp.json, .agents/skills, AGENTS.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://codeload.github.com/zuplo/tools/tar.gz/main

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes dist/index.js as the create-zuplo-api command., The CLI asks which AI coding agents the user wants to configure and records that selection., For selected agents, the project setup writes agent instruction files and a Zuplo documentation MCP configuration into the generated project., The CLI can download Zuplo skills from codeload.github.com and install their skill files for selected agents.

- **Evidence against:** The agent setup is reached through the CLI's project creation flow and runs only when agents were selected., No package install lifecycle hook is declared in package.json.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to create-zuplo-api@7.9.20.

- Review the evidence and your use of create-zuplo-api@7.9.20 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
