AI Security Review
scanned 20d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall behavior is limited to a version banner, and the inspected runtime actions are package-aligned CLI features. The automatic updater is announced and has an opt-out; no concrete attack behavior was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installation runs the banner hook; update and deployment actions are invoked through CLI commands, while the update check runs at CLI startup.
Impact
No credential theft, unrelated data disclosure, or destructive behavior was established in the inspected paths.
Mechanism
The install hook prints a version banner. The updater checks npm and may start an announced, opt-out update; deploy-state uses the GitHub CLI for the Velaro repositories.
AI rationale
The postinstall behavior is limited to a version banner, and the inspected runtime actions are package-aligned CLI features. The automatic updater is announced and has an opt-out; no concrete attack behavior was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package postinstall runs a script that loads and prints a version banner.
- The optional xlsx dependency lists test, build, and lint scripts; its inspected manifest shows no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI checks for updates at startup; automatic updates apply to registry installs, are announced, and can be disabled with an environment setting.
- The explicit update command installs this CLI from the npm registry.
- The screenshot feature requires a user-supplied article ID, app, and route, then uploads the capture to the Velaro KB API.
- The deploy-state feature is an explicit command that queries the named Velaro repositories through the GitHub CLI.
