CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner's credential-redirection claim is not supported by the inspected source: the OpenAI client uses the locally configured key and optional configured destination. The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the CLI entrypoint runs only when invoked.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The CLI main function runs when dist/index.js is invoked as the program entrypoint; OpenAI requests occur when the ticket-from-notes feature is used.
Impact
No confirmed attack surface was established; configured OpenAI use and pMate access-key login follow user-selected product workflows.
Mechanism
The OpenAI key comes from the user's pMate configuration, and a custom API destination is used only if that configuration supplies a base URL. No fixed unrelated recipient or automatic credential transfer was found.
AI rationale
The scanner's credential-redirection claim is not supported by the inspected source: the OpenAI client uses the locally configured key and optional configured destination. The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the CLI entrypoint runs only when invoked.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest points the CLI entrypoint to dist/index.js and lists no install lifecycle hook.
- The OpenAI client reads its key from the user's pMate config and uses a custom base URL only when that config provides one.
- The OpenAI client is used to create Linear tickets from supplied notes; ordinary access-key login exchanges the key through the pMate authentication flow.
- The CLI runs its main function only when invoked as the entrypoint.
