CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 19h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest provides a CLI without install lifecycle hooks. The flagged credential flows are consistent with pMate session setup and configured GitHub operations, and the added Electron runtime uses its supplied identity with pMate’s issue API.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
CLI startup checks a managed session when HEBO_MEMORY_TOKEN is present; other requests are handled by their corresponding commands or Electron runtime methods.
Impact
No unrelated credential collection, unauthorized account action, or harmful automatic behavior was identified.
Mechanism
The managed token is sent to pMate’s auth API to obtain a pMate session; configured GitHub credentials are passed to the local gh command.
AI rationale
The manifest provides a CLI without install lifecycle hooks. The flagged credential flows are consistent with pMate session setup and configured GitHub operations, and the added Electron runtime uses its supplied identity with pMate’s issue API.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI entry point and has no install, preinstall or postinstall script.
- The managed-session path sends HEBO_MEMORY_TOKEN to pMate’s auth API for the pmate:factory session and validates the returned session identity.
- GitHub tokens are resolved for a configured GitHub user and passed to local gh commands.
- The new Electron runtime sends its configured identity token to pMate’s issue API for its issue-related operations.
