CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner's credential and subprocess leads resolve to command-specific GitHub and service integrations, with the OpenAI endpoint controlled by the user's own configuration. The entrypoint does not dispatch commands when imported, and no malicious automatic behavior was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
A user invokes a pmate command; importing the module does not start CLI dispatch.
Impact
No unsolicited credential transfer, persistence, or other malicious behavior was identified.
Mechanism
Commands use pMate service endpoints, configured service credentials, and command-specific subprocesses. The OpenAI base URL comes from user configuration, and GitHub token lookup is tied to a configured GitHub user.
AI rationale
The scanner's credential and subprocess leads resolve to command-specific GitHub and service integrations, with the OpenAI endpoint controlled by the user's own configuration. The entrypoint does not dispatch commands when imported, and no malicious automatic behavior was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest identifies this as pMate CLI utilities and exposes dist/index.js as both the bin and main entry.
- OpenAI requests use an API key and optional base URL from the user's pMate config; no fixed third-party gateway is present in that path.
- The GitHub token helper retrieves a token only for a configured GitHub user and passes it to the gh subprocess.
- CLI dispatch runs only when dist/index.js is the process entry point; importing it does not invoke main().
Evidence against
- The CLI can run subprocesses and make network requests as part of its commands.
- The CLI reads local configuration and session data for its features.
