## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.46.1
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The flagged credential and network code supports the CLI's OpenAI, GitHub, and pMate integrations. The source does not show automatic credential exfiltration, unauthorized account actions, or concealed execution.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-04T10:18:36.633Z

- **Total time:** 68243 ms

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack identified; the flagged credential and network behavior is consistent with the CLI's configured integrations.

- **Trigger:** Users run commands that use OpenAI, GitHub, or pMate services.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential collection or transmission was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T10:19:44.876Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The OpenAI key comes from the user's config and is passed to the OpenAI client, with a custom base URL only when configured. GitHub tokens are obtained through the GitHub CLI for a configured repository user.

- **Rationale:** The flagged credential and network code supports the CLI's OpenAI, GitHub, and pMate integrations. The source does not show automatic credential exfiltration, unauthorized account actions, or concealed execution.

- **Network endpoints:** https://agent-api.pmate.chat, https://api.notion.com/v1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest identifies this as the pMate CLI and points its executable and main entry to dist/index.js., The OpenAI client reads its key from the user's pMate config; a custom endpoint is used only when that config supplies a base URL., The notes-to-ticket feature sends its input to the configured OpenAI client to generate a Linear ticket., For GitHub commands, the CLI removes inherited GH\_TOKEN and obtains a token via gh auth token for the repository's configured GitHub user., The CLI calls main only when run as the main module, so importing it does not start the command dispatcher.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @pmate/cli@0.46.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @pmate/cli@0.46.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
