Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 0.28.8 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected credential flow targets the package’s PMate authentication service. Scanner matches for evaluation, network access, and child processes did not establish malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T02:26:36.598Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T02:27:52.129Z - **Download time:** 1029 ms - **Static scan time:** 2731 ms - **AI review time:** 71770 ms - **Total time:** 75531 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 flagged network and credential handling support the CLI’s authentication and configured API client behavior. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI login command or invokes a feature that uses the configured OpenAI client. - **Impact:** No unintended credential disclosure or other harmful effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T02:27:52.129Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Login exchanges a callback token with the PMate auth API; the OpenAI client uses configuration values supplied by the user. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected credential flow targets the package’s PMate authentication service. Scanner matches for evaluation, network access, and child processes did not establish malicious behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes dist/index.js as the CLI and main entrypoint; its scripts contain no install lifecycle hook., The login flow exchanges a callback token with the PMate auth service and looks up the resulting profile there., The OpenAI client reads its API key and optional endpoint from the user’s PMate configuration. - **Evidence against:** The executable calls its CLI dispatcher only when run directly; importing the bundle does not start it., Source inspection found no eval call; the flagged child-process use appears in CLI operations. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pmate/cli@0.28.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @pmate/cli@0.28.8 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.
