CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged credential flows use user-configured credentials with the corresponding GitHub, OpenAI, or PMate service. The changed runtime template performs installation only on an explicit operation and disables dependency install scripts.
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 commands run when invoked; runtime installation or repair requires an explicit runtime operation.
Impact
No unsolicited credential transfer or other harmful impact was found.
Mechanism
Configured credentials are used with their related CLI or service, and the runtime installer fetches the project's repository with dependency scripts disabled.
AI rationale
The flagged credential flows use user-configured credentials with the corresponding GitHub, OpenAI, or PMate service. The changed runtime template performs installation only on an explicit operation and disables dependency install scripts.

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 exposes a CLI entry point and declares no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI runs its command handler only when invoked as the main module.
- The OpenAI client reads its key and optional base URL from the user's PMate configuration.
- The GitHub token helper resolves a token for a configured GitHub user through `gh auth token` and supplies it to GitHub CLI commands.
- The added runtime installer is explicitly invoked through runtime installation or repair, clones the project's GitHub repository, and installs dependencies with scripts disabled.
- The runtime API requires a logged-in identity before sending its bearer token to the PMate issue API.
Evidence against
- No install-time script is declared.
- The flagged GitHub credential flow uses the GitHub CLI and configured repository user.
- The OpenAI API endpoint is selected by the user's configuration.
- The new runtime setup is an explicit operation and uses the project's repository.
