## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 16 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.30.0
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The active command path forwards an existing credential to an operator-configurable endpoint without a destination allowlist. The behavior is user-invoked and no lifecycle-based malicious behavior was found, so warning is appropriate rather than blocking publication.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-29T03:59:14.284Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-29T04:00:31.704Z
- **Download time:** 513 ms
- **Static scan time:** 2788 ms
- **AI review time:** 74118 ms
- **Total time:** 77420 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:** A user-invoked call command can send a stored session token to a configurable hub host. No automatic install-time attack surface was identified.

- **Trigger:** Running the call command with a hub URL argument or the hub-base environment variable set.

- **Impact:** A caller who points the configurable hub URL at an untrusted host can expose the existing session credential.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T04:00:31.704Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The command reads the local session token, creates a hub client using the configured base URL, and sends the token during authentication.

- **Rationale:** The active command path forwards an existing credential to an operator-configurable endpoint without a destination allowlist. The behavior is user-invoked and no lifecycle-based malicious behavior was found, so warning is appropriate rather than blocking publication.

- **Files touched:** .pmate/session.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://hub.pmate.chat

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes the compiled CLI and has no install lifecycle hook., The call command selects a hub URL from a command argument or environment variable, then authenticates with a stored session token., The hub client places that token in its authentication message., The executable runs its command dispatcher only when invoked as the main module.

- **Evidence against:** No install-time execution or self-dependency was found., The default hub endpoint is package-aligned.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @pmate/cli@0.30.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @pmate/cli@0.30.0 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.
