<p>We messed up ☹️</p>
149+
<p>ZAP has a <code>-silent</code> <a href="/docs/desktop/cmdline/">command line option</a> which <strong>should</strong> stop
150+
ZAP from <a href="/faq/what-calls-home-does-zap-make/">calling home</a> unless you explicitly ask it to.</p>
151+
<p>Unfortunately the <a href="/blog/2025-07-25-the-new-zap-is-out-of-date-rule/">new &lsquo;ZAP is Out of Date&rsquo; rule</a>
152+
had the unintended side-effect of triggering a Check For Updates call even when the silent mode was used.</p>
153+
<p>This was spotted by a ZAP user and reported via Issue <a href="https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/issues/9096">#9096</a> -
154+
thanks Owen Fairholm!</p>
155+
<p>It has been fixed via the PR <a href="https://github.com/zaproxy/zap-extensions/pull/6838">#6838</a>.</p>
156+
<p>We have published an updated <a href="/docs/desktop/addons/passive-scan-rules/">Passive scanner rules</a> add-on, a new weekly release, and updated the Docker stable image.</p>
157+
<p>This bug may well explain why the Check For Update calls have
158+
<a href="/docs/statistics/bar-charts/#check-for-updates">significantly increased</a>
159+
in the last couple of months.</p>
160+
<p>While we understand that some of you will want to use the <code>-silent</code> option (and will continue to maintain it) we do encourage you not to use it unless you really need to.</p>
161+
<p>Allowing the calls home means that you will get alerted to updated add-ons, and have the option to automatically install them.</p>
162+
<p>The telemetry we collect is <a href="/blog/2021-10-25-zap-telemetry-plans/">specific to how ZAP operates</a>
163+
and does not identify you, your services, or give us any details of the alerts that ZAP raises.</p>
164+
<p>We get very little feedback from people who use ZAP, so the telemetry is an important set of information that we
165+
use to help us plan what we&rsquo;re going to focus on.</p>
166+
<p>If you just want to opt-out of telemetry but still check for updates then there is the <code>-notel</code>
167+
<a href="/docs/desktop/addons/call-home/#command-line-option--notel">command line option</a>.</p>
