CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner's credential and execution flags are explained by the CLI's service integrations: credentials are read for user-invoked operations and directed to their corresponding configured services. The entry point does not run its main command handler on import, and the manifest has no install lifecycle hook.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Direct CLI command invocation; importing the entry point alone does not run the CLI main function.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer or other malicious behavior was found in the reviewed flows.
Mechanism
Commands use configured service clients. The reviewed OpenAI client takes its API key and optional base URL from the user's pMate configuration, and the GitHub token is scoped to a GitHub request.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its scripts are ordinary build, development, release, start, test, and typecheck commands.
- The CLI runs its main function only when invoked directly, so importing the entry point does not start command handling.
- The OpenAI client uses the key and optional base URL from the user's pMate configuration; the reviewed source showed no fixed unofficial gateway.
- The GitHub token is configured as an Authorization header for github.com in a Git operation.
Evidence against
- When a user invokes the notes-to-ticket feature, it creates an OpenAI client and uses chat notes as input, so that feature sends user-provided content to the configured service. This matches the feature's purpose.
