AI Security Review
scanned 22d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection did not substantiate the scanner's credential-redirection claim: the OpenAI key path is configuration-driven, while login tokens go to the auth API session exchange. The dynamic-code finding is a loader for the package's chat SDK; no malicious behavior was established.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The CLI runs when invoked by a user; the manifest declares no install lifecycle hook.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized credential disclosure or other attack impact was established.
Mechanism
Inspected authentication sends the login token through the auth API session exchange, and the OpenAI key uses the configured endpoint or SDK default.
AI rationale
Source inspection did not substantiate the scanner's credential-redirection claim: the OpenAI key path is configuration-driven, while login tokens go to the auth API session exchange. The dynamic-code finding is a loader for the package's chat SDK; no malicious behavior was established.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 97.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes dist/index.js as the CLI and main entry; its scripts contain no install lifecycle hook.
- The login flow sends its returned token to the auth API session exchange and checks that the response matches the requested app.
- The OpenAI client reads its key from the user's pMate config and uses a base URL only when one is configured.
- The Function constructor loads the package's @pmate/chat-sdk runtime through dynamic import.

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