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-aiThe postinstall hook only displays a banner. The automatic self-update and other network or process behaviors are tied to the CLI’s Velaro functionality, and inspection found no concrete malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installation runs the postinstall banner. The update check runs after CLI invocation; the screenshot and deploy-state operations require selecting their commands.
Impact
No unrelated credential transfer, unconsented consumer policy change, or destructive behavior was identified.
Mechanism
The updater checks the npm registry and can install a newer @velaro/cli release unless disabled by environment settings. The screenshot command uploads an image with a Velaro API token, while deploy-state uses gh api and prints its results.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook only displays a banner. The automatic self-update and other network or process behaviors are tied to the CLI’s Velaro functionality, and inspection found no concrete malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package’s postinstall hook runs a banner script; the script imports banner text and writes it to the terminal or stderr. The inspected xlsx manifest lists test scripts, not an install hook.
- The CLI starts an update check. For registry installs, it can install the latest @velaro/cli release unless VELARO_NO_AUTO_UPDATE or CI is set; the check targets the npm registry.
- The separate update command explicitly runs npm install -g @velaro/cli@latest when invoked.
- The article command calls the screenshot function with user-supplied app, route, and article ID; the function uploads the image using a Velaro API bearer token.
- The deploy-state command calls GitHub’s gh api with an API path and prints the resulting state.
