CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 18d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no install hook or hidden credential recipient. The flagged credential and execution primitives correspond to user-invoked CLI features and configured API clients.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user invokes a CLI command that needs authentication or an API request.
Impact
No confirmed credential theft, hidden execution, or other attack impact was established.
Mechanism
Login exchanges its callback token with the pMate auth API; the OpenAI client takes its key and optional base URL from user configuration.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no install hook or hidden credential recipient. The flagged credential and execution primitives correspond to user-invoked CLI features and configured API clients.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes dist/index.js as the CLI and library entrypoint, with no install lifecycle hook.
- Login sends its callback token to the pMate auth API; the default endpoint is auth-api-v2.pmate.chat, with explicit environment overrides.
- The OpenAI client uses a key and optional base URL from the user's pMate configuration; the CLI main runs only when invoked directly.
Evidence against
- The CLI contains credential-bearing requests and subprocess execution, but the inspected flows are tied to login, configured API clients, or CLI commands.

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