Velaro Workspace v20 — command-line interface for managing bots, knowledge base ingestion, MCP API keys, search indexes, and ops health.
AI Security Review
scanned 20d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found a banner-only postinstall hook and package-aligned CLI behavior. The scanner’s subprocess and command-output signals correspond to screenshot polishing and package self-update behavior, with no confirmed attack surface.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installation prints the banner; runtime network and subprocess actions occur through the CLI entrypoint or its commands.
Impact
No unauthorized credential disclosure, destructive action, or unrelated command execution was established in the inspected paths.
Mechanism
The update checker queries npm for this package’s version and may update this CLI. The log command contacts the Velaro messaging API, while the screenshot command polishes and uploads an image to the Velaro admin API.
AI rationale
Source inspection found a banner-only postinstall hook and package-aligned CLI behavior. The scanner’s subprocess and command-output signals correspond to screenshot polishing and package self-update behavior, with no confirmed attack surface.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package postinstall hook runs a banner script; that script prints the package version banner.
- The CLI update checker fetches the package’s latest version and only self-installs for registry installs outside CI; the update command installs this same package from npm.
- Log searches are exposed as an explicit CLI command and send the stored Velaro token to the configured or default Velaro messaging API.
- The screenshot flow is an explicit article command that uploads a captured image to the configured Velaro admin API.
- The inspected optional xlsx manifest has no install lifecycle script; its scripts are for tests, builds, and linting.
Evidence against
- A registry installation may update itself in the background when a newer version is found; the source provides a VELARO_NO_AUTO_UPDATE opt-out and excludes CI.
- The screenshot helper reads credentials and uploads an image, but its CLI flow is user-invoked and targets Velaro application and API hosts.
