CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install hook, and the inspected runtime code does not support the scanner's claim of a fixed unofficial credential gateway: OpenAI credentials and the optional endpoint are configuration-supplied, while the inspected session exchange targets pMate services. The findings for dynamic evaluation and child processes are consistent with browser automation and CLI operations in this command-line package; no concrete attack behavior was established.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
OpenAI requests occur when a user invokes a CLI function that creates the OpenAI client.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer or other confirmed attack surface was established.
Mechanism
The client reads the key and optional base URL from the user's pMate configuration. The inspected authenticated log request sends its session token to pMate auth and developer API endpoints.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest points to dist/index.js and defines no install lifecycle hook.
- The OpenAI client reads an API key from user configuration; its optional base URL is also taken from that configuration.
- The CLI runs its main function only when invoked as the program; the inspected log request uses pMate authentication endpoints.
