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 flagged behaviors are explained by the package's CLI functions and do not establish a concrete attack. The install hook only displays a banner, and the credential-related paths use Velaro authentication and API endpoints. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-13T02:25:38.476Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-13T02:27:56.014Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 1222 ms - **AI review time:** 135535 ms - **Total time:** 137538 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 surface was identified in the inspected source. The install hook displays a banner, while the flagged network and process operations are tied to explicit CLI actions. - **Trigger:** Package installation displays a banner; update, screenshot, and billing operations require invoking their CLI commands. - **Impact:** No unauthorized data transfer or account action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-13T02:27:56.014Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Inspected code routes credentials to the Velaro login or API service and uses child-process execution for a local screenshot-polishing script. - **Rationale:** The flagged behaviors are explained by the package's CLI functions and do not establish a concrete attack. The install hook only displays a banner, and the credential-related paths use Velaro authentication and API endpoints. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package's postinstall hook displays a version banner; it does not install packages, collect data, or make network requests., The screenshot utility is called from the article command with a selected app and route, and uploads the resulting image to the Velaro knowledge base., OAuth refresh sends the stored refresh token to the Velaro login endpoint; billing requests use the CLI's authenticated API client., The updater is an explicit CLI command that checks npm and installs a newer release of this same package., The optional spreadsheet dependency declares test and build scripts, with no install lifecycle script in its manifest. - **Evidence against:** The package has a postinstall hook and runtime code uses network access and child-process execution, but inspected paths tie these behaviors to a banner or explicit CLI commands., The billing sync command defaults to a dry run and requires the user to pass --live to request a live sync. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @velaro/cli@1.4.90. - Review the evidence and your use of @velaro/cli@1.4.90 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.
