CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner’s credential and execution flags are not corroborated as exfiltration: GitHub tokens are obtained through `gh` for GitHub operations, and the OpenAI key uses the configured OpenAI client. The manifest contains no install lifecycle hook.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The package exposes a CLI; the reviewed credential use occurs when relevant commands run.
Impact
No unauthorized credential collection or forwarding was identified.
Mechanism
GitHub credentials are obtained through the GitHub CLI when repo configuration names a user. OpenAI credentials come from the user’s pMate config, with an optional configured base URL.
AI rationale
The scanner’s credential and execution flags are not corroborated as exfiltration: GitHub tokens are obtained through `gh` for GitHub operations, and the OpenAI key uses the configured OpenAI client. The manifest contains no install lifecycle hook.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest lists build, development, release, start, test, and typecheck scripts; it declares no install lifecycle script.
- GitHub token lookup is conditional on a configured GitHub user and uses `gh auth token --user`.
- The OpenAI client reads its key from the user’s pMate config and accepts only an optional configured base URL.

Credential Exfiltration
Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint.
