@velaro/cli@1.4.117
Velaro Workspace v20 — command-line interface for managing bots, knowledge base ingestion, MCP API keys, search indexes, and ops health.
AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms conditional exposure of a saved Velaro token when an operator selects an unrelated API base, without a destination allowlist. The postinstall hook only prints a banner, and the other notable account-action matches are PDF text-layout code, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes logs, report-speed, or the article screenshot command while a VELARO API-base environment override points to an unrelated host.
Impact
An unrelated configured endpoint can receive the saved service token.
Mechanism
The commands include the saved token in an Authorization header on a request to the selected messaging or admin API base, without checking that the destination is an approved Velaro host.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The postinstall hook prints a banner; the inspected hook contains no network call.
- lib/config.js accepts explicit VELARO_* API-base environment overrides and defines Velaro service defaults. Configuration reads restore API bases from that environment table.
- The CLI reads a saved Velaro token, and user-invoked logs and report-speed commands attach it to requests sent to the selected messaging API base.
- The article screenshot command normally uses saved credentials and uploads the screenshot with a bearer token to the selected admin API base.
- An operator who configures an unrelated API base can expose the saved token to that endpoint; the inspected callers do not enforce a destination allowlist.
- The PDFKit matches are in list-label formatting and text-fragment rendering in both Node and browser builds.
Evidence against
- No unrelated default recipient is established for the inspected token-bearing callers; their defaults are Velaro service hosts.
- The account-action matches in PDFKit occur in document text-layout code, not in account operations.
