Velaro Workspace v20 — command-line interface for managing bots, knowledge base ingestion, MCP API keys, search indexes, and ops health.
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install hook only displays a banner. The flagged network and credential flows are tied to the CLI’s own update service or explicit Velaro commands, with no evidence of unrelated data collection or unauthorized actions.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The postinstall hook prints a banner; the CLI checks for updates when run; screenshot capture runs only when its subcommand is invoked.
Impact
Expected update and knowledge-base operations; no unrelated credential collection or unauthorized account action was identified.
Mechanism
The update check contacts the package’s npm registry entry and can install a newer @velaro/cli release. Screenshot capture uses configured credentials to upload an image to the Velaro knowledge-base API.
AI rationale
The install hook only displays a banner. The flagged network and credential flows are tied to the CLI’s own update service or explicit Velaro commands, with no evidence of unrelated data collection or unauthorized actions.

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 hook runs a banner script that prints installation text to the terminal.
- The CLI checks the official npm registry for its own latest version and may update itself; the update path has an opt-out and reports when it starts.
- The screenshot feature is an explicit subcommand for capturing a staging page and inserting the image into a Velaro knowledge-base article.
