Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged network, credential, subprocess, and AI-configuration behaviors are scoped to named CLI features and package-aligned Velaro services. The install hook is a local banner invocation and does not establish an install-time malicious chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T06:50:44.478Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T06:51:46.255Z - **Download time:** 1010 ms - **Static scan time:** 1117 ms - **AI review time:** 59649 ms - **Total time:** 61777 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. Installation only calls a local banner; sensitive and configuration-changing behavior is behind explicit CLI commands. - **Trigger:** Installation prints a first-run banner; update, screenshot, and MCP setup require named user commands. - **Impact:** No unconsented credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or broad AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T06:51:46.255Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked Velaro administration, update, screenshot, and MCP setup features. - **Rationale:** The flagged network, credential, subprocess, and AI-configuration behaviors are scoped to named CLI features and package-aligned Velaro services. The install hook is a local banner invocation and does not establish an install-time malicious chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package has a postinstall hook, but its source only invokes a local first-run banner., The explicit update command fetches the npm registry and runs a global self-update command., The explicit MCP-key install command can add a Velaro server entry to the user's Claude configuration., The screenshot command can retrieve operator credentials and upload a screenshot when that feature is invoked. - **Evidence against:** The install hook contains no network access, subprocess launch, credential collection, or AI-agent configuration write., The update subprocess is reachable only through the named update CLI command, not during installation., The MCP configuration write is limited to an explicitly named user command and a Velaro-owned server entry., API requests use the logged-in Velaro token against configured Velaro service endpoints; no unrelated exfiltration endpoint was found., No runtime dependency on another release of this package, obfuscated payload, or reviewer-directed manipulation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @velaro/cli@1.4.11. - Review the evidence and your use of @velaro/cli@1.4.11 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.
