CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiInspected source supports normal user-invoked CLI behavior and authentication to PMate's service; the manifest has no install hook. The scanner's redirect finding was not substantiated by the inspected credential flow, so the package is clean.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Explicit invocation of the pmate CLI or use of its exported module entrypoint.
Impact
No confirmed credential theft, covert redirect, or install-time mutation was established.
Mechanism
Authentication requests use the configured PMate authentication API base URL, and the OpenAI client reads its key and optional base URL from PMate configuration.
AI rationale
Inspected source supports normal user-invoked CLI behavior and authentication to PMate's service; the manifest has no install hook. The scanner's redirect finding was not substantiated by the inspected credential flow, so the package is clean.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes dist/index.js as the CLI and module entrypoint and defines no install lifecycle hook.
- Profile lookup sends the supplied session token as a bearer token to the configured authentication API base URL.
- The OpenAI client takes its key and optional base URL from the PMate configuration, consistent with a caller-configured API client.
- The CLI runs only when invoked as the main module; no credential redirect or persistence attack was confirmed in inspected source.
