CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged OpenAI credential flow uses a key and optional base URL from the user's configuration, with no fixed unrelated gateway in the client constructor. The package has no install hook, and its CLI main routine runs only when directly executed.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Network requests and command execution occur through CLI functionality; the main routine is gated on direct execution.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer or unrelated automatic action was identified.
Mechanism
The reviewed OpenAI key uses the configured base URL, and GitHub token resolution is tied to repository configuration and the gh CLI.
AI rationale
The flagged OpenAI credential flow uses a key and optional base URL from the user's configuration, with no fixed unrelated gateway in the client constructor. The package has no install hook, and its CLI main routine runs only when directly executed.

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 the CLI and package main entry to dist/index.js and declares no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI calls main() only when dist/index.js is executed as the main module.
- The OpenAI client reads its key and optional base URL from the user's pMate configuration; this constructor does not set a publisher-controlled gateway.
- GitHub handling removes inherited GH_TOKEN and retrieves a token with gh only when repo configuration names a GitHub user.
Evidence against
- The package uses network APIs and child-process execution for its CLI features, which can resemble exfiltration or shell activity in static scans.
- The OpenAI configuration supports a custom base URL, so the user can choose where that configured key is sent.
