## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 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:** 0.29.4
- **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.

Static findings reflect expected capabilities of a service CLI. Source inspection found no lifecycle trigger, covert harvesting, or unconsented persistence.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%

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 confirmed malicious attack surface was found. Network and credential handling are user-invoked CLI functions, not install-time behavior.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a pMate CLI command such as login.

- **Impact:** The CLI can store its own authenticated pMate session and use supplied service credentials.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T03:29:37.918Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** User-requested authentication and service API calls.

- **Rationale:** Static findings reflect expected capabilities of a service CLI. Source inspection found no lifecycle trigger, covert harvesting, or unconsented persistence.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The executable only dispatches actions after parsing command-line arguments., The login flow sends its token to the package authentication API and stores the resulting session in a mode-0600 pMate session file.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI handles login tokens and makes authenticated requests to pMate services., A dynamic import helper loads the declared @pmate/chat-sdk runtime module.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @pmate/cli@0.29.4.

- Review the evidence and your use of @pmate/cli@0.29.4 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.
