AI Security Review
scanned 18h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged API credential is loaded from the user's own configuration, and its optional destination is also user-configured. The related request processes notes or images for a user-invoked Linear ticket workflow; no automatic redirection or exfiltration was identified.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The CLI performs AI-assisted ticket creation when the user runs the relevant Linear create mode.
Impact
The reviewed flow supports the requested ticket creation feature; no automatic credential redirection or unrelated collection was identified.
Mechanism
It uses the configured OpenAI API key and optional user-configured base URL to process the supplied notes or images.
AI rationale
The flagged API credential is loaded from the user's own configuration, and its optional destination is also user-configured. The related request processes notes or images for a user-invoked Linear ticket workflow; no automatic redirection or exfiltration was identified.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes dist/index.js as its CLI and main entrypoint; it has no install lifecycle script.
- The OpenAI client reads its API key and optional base URL from the user's ~/.pmate/config.yaml.
- The notes and images sent to the OpenAI client are inputs to Linear ticket creation.
- The CLI runs main() only when invoked as the main module.
