CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 21d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiDirect inspection found no install hook or package-fixed unrelated credential recipient. The credential and evaluation matches correspond to pMate authentication, a configured OpenAI integration, and Playwright browser automation; the scanner hints do not establish an attack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The CLI runs or a user invokes a login or integration command.
Impact
No package-fixed unrelated credential recipient or install-time action was found.
Mechanism
The bundle routes login tokens to the pMate auth API and reads the OpenAI key from the user’s config; the Runtime.evaluate match is browser-page automation through Playwright CDP.
AI rationale
Direct inspection found no install hook or package-fixed unrelated credential recipient. The credential and evaluation matches correspond to pMate authentication, a configured OpenAI integration, and Playwright browser automation; the scanner hints do not establish an attack.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json maps the CLI and main entrypoint to dist/index.js; its scripts contain no install lifecycle hook.
- The bundle parses CLI arguments and invokes its main routine only when run directly.
- Startup session exchange requires HEBO_MEMORY_TOKEN and uses AUTH_API_BASE_URL or pMate’s default auth host.
- The login flow exchanges a session token with the pMate auth API and checks that the returned session matches the requested app.
- The OpenAI helper reads its key from the user’s pMate config and uses a configured base URL only when one is supplied.
- The Runtime.evaluate reference is a Playwright CDP call that evaluates an expression in a browser page.
