@velaro/cli@1.4.85
Velaro Workspace v20 — command-line interface for managing bots, knowledge base ingestion, MCP API keys, search indexes, and ops health.
AI Security Review
scanned 24d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe configurable screenshot destination creates a real, user-triggered credential exposure risk, so this warrants a warning. The inspected postinstall behavior is a banner attempt, and the updater's package installation is explicit; neither supports a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes the article screenshot command while an application URL override is configured.
Impact
Credentials may be exposed to an unintended destination if the configured URL is untrusted.
Mechanism
The command fills the configured page's login form with the retrieved username and password; the URL override is not restricted to a Velaro host in the inspected code.
AI rationale
The configurable screenshot destination creates a real, user-triggered credential exposure risk, so this warrants a warning. The inspected postinstall behavior is a banner attempt, and the updater's package installation is explicit; neither supports a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The screenshot command can use environment-provided credentials or fall back to Azure Key Vault.
- The screenshot module accepts environment-configured application URLs, with Velaro staging URLs as defaults.
- The screenshot flow fills the configured page with the retrieved username and password.
- The package postinstall hook only attempts to print a first-run banner.
- The updater is registered as an explicit CLI command and installs this package from the npm registry when invoked.
Evidence against
- The screenshot feature is a user-invoked command for capturing staging pages; the inspected code shows no hidden credential forwarding sink.
- The Python child process is used for optional screenshot polishing, and the updater's install command runs only inside the update command handler.
