AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package's main behavior is a user-invoked scaffolder, and the flagged credential flow is actually a prompt-routing feature that is disabled until the user enables it. Its route is restricted to loopback, and the workspace keeps its service credential out of agent terminal environments.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs the CLI to scaffold the kit or explicitly runs `create-pmos workspace`; prompt routing additionally requires the typed `pmos-route on` command.
Impact
No automatic credential exfiltration or unrelated remote action was found.
Mechanism
The hook validates that the route URL is loopback and sends the prompt and repository root to the local workspace route. Workspace setup and plugin registration are part of the invoked CLI workflow.
AI rationale
The package's main behavior is a user-invoked scaffolder, and the flagged credential flow is actually a prompt-routing feature that is disabled until the user enables it. Its route is restricted to loopback, and the workspace keeps its service credential out of agent terminal environments.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package is a CLI for scaffolding the PMOS kit and optionally activating its local workspace app.
- Prompt routing accepts only a loopback URL at the workspace route endpoint.
- The hook sends the repository root and prompt to that validated local endpoint; it does not include a credential.
- Routing is off by default and can only be turned on by the user's typed `pmos-route on` command.
- The workspace removes its own service credential from the environment passed to agent terminals.
Evidence against
- Scaffolding links the kit's skills and offers its first-party cockpit plugin through project Claude settings.
- The explicit `create-pmos workspace` command installs the bundled workspace app and starts its local server.
- When routing is enabled, a typed prompt and repository root are sent to the local workspace server.
