CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install hook, and the flagged credential flows are consistent with pMate session setup and GitHub CLI use. The managed-session check runs at CLI startup, but the source sends the token to pMate’s auth API and removes its temporary session file on exit.
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 for a managed session token; other service requests occur when their commands or features are used.
Impact
No unrelated credential transfer, destructive action, or concealed execution was found in the reviewed flows.
Mechanism
The managed token is sent to pMate’s auth API, while GitHub credentials are obtained for a configured user and supplied to gh.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install hook, and the flagged credential flows are consistent with pMate session setup and GitHub CLI use. The managed-session check runs at CLI startup, but the source sends the token to pMate’s auth API and removes its temporary session file on exit.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest lists build, clean, dev, release, start, test, and typecheck scripts; it declares no install lifecycle hook.
- CLI startup checks HEBO_MEMORY_TOKEN and sends it as a bearer token to the pMate auth API to establish a pmate:factory session.
- The delegated session is written to a temporary session.json file and its temporary directory is removed on process exit.
- GitHub credentials are resolved for a configured GitHub user and passed to gh subprocesses.
Evidence against
- The reviewed credential flows use service-specific APIs or tools, and no unrelated collector or credential theft behavior was identified.
- The new Electron runtime’s clone and dependency-install actions are reachable through explicit runtime install or repair methods.
