CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 29d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint but defines no install lifecycle hook. Inspected source shows a configurable OpenAI client and renderer integrity checks, with no concrete malicious behavior established.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The CLI runs when invoked; the OpenAI client is used by commands that request it.
Impact
No confirmed credential theft, unrelated credential forwarding, or other malicious effect was established.
Mechanism
The client reads its API key and optional base URL from pMate configuration. The resource handler checks file paths and hashes before serving renderer files.
AI rationale
The manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint but defines no install lifecycle hook. Inspected source shows a configurable OpenAI client and renderer integrity checks, with no concrete malicious behavior established.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 89.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes dist/index.js as the CLI and package entrypoint, with no install lifecycle hook.
- The OpenAI client reads a configured API key and permits a configured base URL; the inspected code does not show a fixed unrelated recipient or credential forwarding to one.
- The Electron resource handler rejects traversal paths and checks renderer files against manifest hashes.

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