AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner’s GitHub credential lead resolves to a token requested from the user’s GitHub CLI and passed to GitHub CLI commands. The OpenAI client uses the configured key and base URL, and no install hook or automatic import-time execution was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Explicit CLI commands invoke the relevant integrations; importing the entrypoint does not run the CLI main function.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer or other harmful behavior was identified.
Mechanism
GitHub credentials are obtained through GitHub CLI, and the OpenAI client uses the key and optional endpoint configured by the user.
AI rationale
The scanner’s GitHub credential lead resolves to a token requested from the user’s GitHub CLI and passed to GitHub CLI commands. The OpenAI client uses the configured key and base URL, and no install hook or automatic import-time execution was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook.
- The GitHub token flow resolves a token through `gh auth token` and passes it to GitHub CLI.
- The OpenAI client uses the key and optional base URL from the user’s config.
- The CLI’s main function runs only when the file is the entry script.
