⚠ Under reviewCLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected excerpts show a CLI entrypoint and authentication to a pMate endpoint, without a verified attack. The required clean citation coverage exceeds the output limit, so the complete source review cannot support a clean verdict.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
No malicious trigger was confirmed in the inspected excerpts.
Impact
No harmful effect was established from the inspected excerpts.
Mechanism
The inspected login flow sends tokens to the configured or default pMate authentication API, and the OpenAI client reads its key and optional base URL from configuration.
AI rationale
The inspected excerpts show a CLI entrypoint and authentication to a pMate endpoint, without a verified attack. The required clean citation coverage exceeds the output limit, so the complete source review cannot support a clean verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 71.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The manifest exposes dist/index.js as the CLI entrypoint and declares no lifecycle hook.
- The inspected login code sends session tokens to the configured or default pMate authentication API.
- The OpenAI client reads its API key from pMate configuration and uses a configured base URL when present; no fixed unrelated recipient was identified in the inspected excerpt.
- The required clean citation set exceeds the 256 citation limit, so the full source coverage needed to establish a clean verdict is unavailable.
Evidence against
- No concrete attack was established in the inspected excerpts; the remaining required source paths were not all covered.
