## 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:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 7.9.5
- **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.

Source supports a warning for conditional credential exposure and guarded agent configuration capability, rather than the scanner's malicious classification. No concrete attack behavior warrants publication blocking.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-02T11:44:45.415Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-02T11:46:05.607Z
- **Download time:** 1015 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1191 ms
- **AI review time:** 77986 ms
- **Total time:** 80192 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:** Server-project setup can expose a saved Zuplo token if the developer API endpoint is overridden. Explicit agent setup also enables project-local plugins and MCP configuration; no confirmed malicious attack was identified.

- **Trigger:** Run the CLI with server-project setup enabled and an overridden developer API endpoint, or select agent configuration.

- **Impact:** Conditional exposure of the existing service token and activation of selected agent capabilities.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T11:46:05.607Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Saved authentication is forwarded to an unrestricted environment-selected endpoint. Agent selection writes project configuration and enables Zuplo plugins; no automatic update loop was found in the inspected setup code.

- **Rationale:** Source supports a warning for conditional credential exposure and guarded agent configuration capability, rather than the scanner's malicious classification. No concrete attack behavior warrants publication blocking.

- **Files touched:** .mcp.json, .claude/settings.json, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules

- **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 manifest has no npm install lifecycle hooks; setup runs through the CLI., The developer API endpoint accepts ZUPLO\_DEVELOPER\_API\_ENDPOINT without a destination allowlist., The CLI reads an existing Zuplo access token and sends it as bearer authentication to the selected endpoint., Server-project setup calls the saved-token account lookup when no account is selected., Agent selection is prompted or supplied explicitly; noninteractive mode defaults to no agents., Selected agent setup writes project instructions and MCP configuration and enables Zuplo Claude plugins through a GitHub marketplace.

- **Evidence against:** The default authenticated destination is https://dev.zuplo.com, consistent with Zuplo project setup., No concrete covert exfiltration or malicious install behavior was established.

## Affected versions and remediation
