AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install hook only prints a banner, and update checks use the official npm registry to check and optionally install this CLI's own update. A usage-tracking request exists in source, but its credential gate does not match the normal config structure, so it is skipped for standard configurations.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The banner runs during installation; the version check runs when the CLI starts; the background update runs only when a newer version is found and the opt-out and CI checks allow it.
Impact
No unauthorized collection or other attack behavior was identified.
Mechanism
The install hook writes text to the terminal. The update checker contacts npm's registry and may run npm to install this same package. The usage tracker is gated on root-level credential fields that the normal config schema does not provide.
AI rationale
The install hook only prints a banner, and update checks use the official npm registry to check and optionally install this CLI's own update. A usage-tracking request exists in source, but its credential gate does not match the normal config structure, so it is skipped for standard configurations.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall hook prints a version banner to the terminal or stderr.
- The update checker queries the official npm registry for this package and caches version metadata.
- The tracker requires root-level credentials; normal config migration stores credentials under `envs`, so the tracking request is skipped for standard configs.
Evidence against
- The package declares a postinstall hook.
- The CLI can install its own update in the background when a newer version is available, unless disabled with `VELARO_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1` or running in CI.
