ProjectBridge remote host agent CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 24d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection shows a user-invoked host presence CLI, with no install hook and HTTPS validation for its server. Its metadata and credential use are consistent with enrollment and heartbeat behavior; the scanner hints do not establish an attack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The user runs the projectbridge CLI with the remote command.
Impact
The service receives host identity and presence information as part of the CLI's stated remote presence behavior; no independent malicious behavior was found.
Mechanism
The CLI enrolls with the configured server, stores the returned device credential, and sends host metadata with authenticated heartbeat requests.
AI rationale
Source inspection shows a user-invoked host presence CLI, with no install hook and HTTPS validation for its server. Its metadata and credential use are consistent with enrollment and heartbeat behavior; the scanner hints do not establish an attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI entry point and declares no install lifecycle hook.
- Network activity requires the user to invoke the `remote` command.
- Enrollment and heartbeat send host metadata to the ProjectBridge service; a credential obtained during enrollment is used for heartbeat requests.
- The configured server must use HTTPS, except for localhost testing.
