CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic hints reflect the broad automation CLI feature set rather than malicious execution. Source inspection found explicit command dispatch and package-aligned authentication/network behavior, with no covert trigger or exfiltration chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
User runs a PMate CLI command such as login, deploy, agent, or chat-room.
Impact
No confirmed credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, persistence, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation.
Mechanism
User-invoked CLI automation using configured credentials, APIs, files, and subprocesses.
AI rationale
Static hints reflect the broad automation CLI feature set rather than malicious execution. Source inspection found explicit command dispatch and package-aligned authentication/network behavior, with no covert trigger or exfiltration chain.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
Evidence against
- package.json has only a prepare build hook; no install/postinstall hook.
- dist/index.js invokes main only when executed as the CLI binary.
- Network calls target documented PMate services or user-supplied endpoints.
- Credential reads are for explicit login/API commands and are sent to their matching auth APIs.
- spawn/SSH and file mutations are command-handler actions, not import- or install-time behavior.
- new Function is limited to loading the fixed @pmate/chat-sdk/runtime module.

Critical
Credential Exfiltration
Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint.
