CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 19h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged credential and execution patterns resolve to normal CLI and service behavior: GitHub credentials are passed to gh wrappers, while OpenAI settings come from the user's configuration. The added Electron runtime sends a logged-in pMate identity to the pMate issue API only when its methods are invoked.
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
The user runs a CLI command or invokes an Electron runtime method.
Impact
No unauthorized credential disclosure or other malicious impact was found in the reviewed paths.
Mechanism
The CLI uses configured credentials for service operations; the Electron runtime requires a logged-in identity before sending requests to pMate's issue API.
AI rationale
The flagged credential and execution patterns resolve to normal CLI and service behavior: GitHub credentials are passed to gh wrappers, while OpenAI settings come from the user's configuration. The added Electron runtime sends a logged-in pMate identity to the pMate issue API only when its methods are invoked.

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 describes a pMate CLI and declares dist/index.js as its executable and main entry point.
- The CLI calls main() only when run directly, so importing the entry point does not start the command loop.
- GitHub tokens are resolved from the user's configured GitHub account and supplied to gh command wrappers.
- The OpenAI client uses the API key and optional base URL from the user's pMate configuration.
- The Electron runtime sends its logged-in identity token to pMate's issue API when an allowed method is invoked.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts.
- The flagged shell matches in dependency files are shell syntax-highlighting rules, not evidence of executing those commands.
- No automatic transfer of GitHub credentials to an unrelated host was identified.
