AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install hook only prints a banner. Runtime network and credential use is tied to the CLI’s Velaro services, a disclosed self-update from npm, or an explicitly invoked screenshot command; no unrelated collection or unrequested account action was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The postinstall banner runs during installation; update checks run at CLI startup; screenshot capture requires the user to invoke the screenshot command.
Impact
No unrelated credential transfer or unrequested account action was identified in the reviewed flows.
Mechanism
The banner writes to the terminal. The updater checks npm for this package’s version and can install its latest release. Usage tracking sends the action and CLI version to the configured Velaro API. Screenshot capture uses staging credentials and sends the resulting image and article update through Velaro services.
AI rationale
The install hook only prints a banner. Runtime network and credential use is tied to the CLI’s Velaro services, a disclosed self-update from npm, or an explicitly invoked screenshot command; no unrelated collection or unrequested account action was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall script prints a version banner to the terminal; it does not perform a network request.
- Usage tracking sends only the CLI action and version to the configured Velaro API using the stored Velaro token.
- The background updater checks npm and, when a newer version is available, updates this CLI from the npm registry; it reports the update and provides an opt-out.
- Screenshot capture requires an explicit article screenshot command with an app and route. Its credential fallback retrieves test-account credentials from Azure Key Vault for staging apps.
