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. Source supports a warning for conditional forwarding of an existing service credential to an unrestricted configured endpoint, plus guarded agent configuration capability. No automatic install attack or concrete malware behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T10:55:44.012Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T10:57:34.609Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 1195 ms - **AI review time:** 108885 ms - **Total time:** 110597 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:** Conditional credential exposure exists because server-project setup forwards a saved Zuplo token to an unrestricted environment-configured API destination. Selected agent setup also enables project plugins and MCP access; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Run the project-creation CLI with server-project setup enabled and an overridden developer API endpoint, or select agent configuration. - **Impact:** An operator-configured endpoint could receive the existing Zuplo token. Agent consent enables subsequent plugin loading through the configured marketplace, but this source does not establish automatic plugin updates. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T10:57:34.609Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI loads the stored token and sends bearer-authenticated requests to the configured endpoint. Agent selection writes project configuration enabling Zuplo plugins and documentation tools. - **Rationale:** Source supports a warning for conditional forwarding of an existing service credential to an unrestricted configured endpoint, plus guarded agent configuration capability. No automatic install attack or concrete malware behavior was identified. - **Files touched:** .local/state/zuplo/auth.json, .mcp.json, .claude/settings.json, CLAUDE.md - **Network endpoints:** https://dev.zuplo.com, https://dev.zuplo.com/mcp/docs, https://codeload.github.com/zuplo/tools/tar.gz/main ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI reads an existing Zuplo access token from the user's Zuplo authentication file., The developer API destination accepts ZUPLO\_DEVELOPER\_API\_ENDPOINT without an allowlist, and account requests send the saved token as bearer authentication., Server-project creation activates token discovery and account requests; this follows a CLI flag or interactive setup choice., Agent setup requires an explicit selection and defaults to no agents in non-interactive mode., Selected agent setup writes project instructions, MCP configuration and Claude settings enabling Zuplo marketplace plugins. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., The default authentication destination is Zuplo's developer API; no covert unrelated recipient was identified., Project installation commands and analytics match the scaffolding workflow; analytics sends selected options and runtime metadata. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to create-zuplo-api@7.9.4. - Review the evidence and your use of create-zuplo-api@7.9.4 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
