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 postinstall script only prints a banner, and the flagged command execution and credential flows are tied to explicit CLI operations. The startup updater uses the official npm registry and announces automatic updates with an opt-out; usage tracking sends only the action and CLI version to the configured Velaro API. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T00:21:02.993Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T00:21:43.580Z - **Download time:** 1771 ms - **Static scan time:** 1476 ms - **AI review time:** 37340 ms - **Total time:** 40587 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 attack identified; reviewed install and runtime behavior serves the CLI's banner, update, usage-tracking, and screenshot features. - **Trigger:** The banner runs on install; update checks run at CLI startup; tracking follows successful commands; screenshot capture requires an explicit subcommand. - **Impact:** No unauthorized collection or action was identified in the reviewed flows. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T00:21:43.580Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The install hook writes a banner. Runtime requests go to the official npm registry, the configured Velaro API, or services needed for an explicitly requested staging screenshot. - **Rationale:** The postinstall script only prints a banner, and the flagged command execution and credential flows are tied to explicit CLI operations. The startup updater uses the official npm registry and announces automatic updates with an opt-out; usage tracking sends only the action and CLI version to the configured Velaro API. - **Files touched:** ~/.velaro/config.json, os.tmpdir()/kb-screenshot-\-\.png - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@velaro/cli/latest, ${creds.apiBase}/ToolUsage/cli, https://${vaultName}.vault.azure.net, https://admin-staging.velaro.com, https://messaging-staging.velaro.com, https://console-staging.velaro.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook imports banner text and writes it to the terminal or stderr; it does not perform network or project-data collection., The background update check fetches the latest version from the official npm registry. Registry installs may update automatically, with a visible notice and a VELARO\_NO\_AUTO\_UPDATE opt-out., Usage tracking sends only the CLI action and version, authenticated to the Velaro API base from the user's config., Screenshot capture is an explicitly invoked article subcommand that captures a staging page and updates the selected article. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @velaro/cli@1.4.136. - Review the evidence and your use of @velaro/cli@1.4.136 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.
