CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 24d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found the flagged credential and network behavior within pMate login and API operations, with no evidence of unrelated credential exfiltration. The resource handler checks file integrity and request scope; no confirmed attack surface remains.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The build runs through the prepare hook; CLI behavior activates when the executable is invoked.
Impact
The inspected behavior supports normal CLI authentication and package features; no unrelated credential recipient or malicious action was established.
Mechanism
Login credentials are sent to the configured or default pMate authentication service, and stored sessions are used for pMate API requests. The Electron resource handler verifies file digests and checks request origin and method.
AI rationale
Source inspection found the flagged credential and network behavior within pMate login and API operations, with no evidence of unrelated credential exfiltration. The resource handler checks file integrity and request scope; no confirmed attack surface remains.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The prepare hook runs the package build; the shipped CLI calls its main function only when invoked directly.
- Login exchanges caller-provided or browser-returned credentials with the configured or default pMate authentication service.
- The registry command sends the stored pMate session to the pMate agent API.
- The Electron resource handler serves manifest-verified files and restricts requests to the configured origin and read methods.

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