CLI utilities for the pMate project
AI Security Review
scanned 17h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner's GitHub credential and dynamic execution leads are consistent with user-invoked CLI workflows: GitHub token handling is tied to repository configuration, and OpenAI credentials come from the user's pMate config. The executable only calls its command dispatcher when run directly; the reviewed source did not establish automatic credential exfiltration or malicious redirection.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Network requests and command execution occur when the user invokes relevant CLI commands.
Impact
No malicious impact identified.
Mechanism
The reviewed code uses configured credentials for corresponding GitHub, OpenAI, and pMate operations; no unrelated credential collection or redirection was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes dist/index.js as the CLI and package main.
- GitHub token handling removes inherited GH_TOKEN and uses a repository-configured GitHub user.
- The OpenAI client reads its API key from the user's pMate config.
- The CLI calls main only when run directly, so importing the entry point does not start the command.
- Login exchanges a prompted login token with the configured auth API.

Critical
Credential Exfiltration
Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint.
