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. Static inspection shows suspicious primitives are expected for this CLI's documented Azure/GitHub/Foundry management functions and are activated by explicit commands. No lifecycle execution, credential harvesting, covert endpoint, persistence, destructive payload, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-01T04:10:19.823Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-01T04:11:18.191Z - **Download time:** 1027 ms - **Static scan time:** 1664 ms - **AI review time:** 55676 ms - **Total time:** 58368 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 confirmed malicious attack surface. The package is a deployment/management CLI that performs privileged Azure, GitHub, Foundry, and local config actions after user-invoked commands. - **Trigger:** User runs the m8t CLI commands. - **Impact:** Can modify the user's configured Azure/GitHub/Foundry resources when invoked with appropriate credentials; no hidden install-time or import-time exfiltration found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-01T04:11:18.191Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-directed cloud management CLI with Azure/GitHub auth, local config writes, and agent version updates. - **Rationale:** Static inspection shows suspicious primitives are expected for this CLI's documented Azure/GitHub/Foundry management functions and are activated by explicit commands. No lifecycle execution, credential harvesting, covert endpoint, persistence, destructive payload, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. - **Files touched:** ~/.m8t-stack/cli-config.yaml, ~/.m8t-stack/github-app.pem, ~/.m8t-stack/github-app.json, .m8t/brain.yaml - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com, https://management.azure.com, https://ai.azure.com/.default, https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp, https://ghcr.io, https://graph.microsoft.com, https://api.openai.com/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install/postinstall hook; prepublishOnly only runs pnpm build for publishers., dist/cli.js entrypoint registers Clipanion commands and runs only when the CLI is invoked., child\_process usage is limited to user-invoked az, gh, git, open/start/xdg-open, and brain-eval commands., Network calls are aligned with documented Azure, GitHub, GHCR, OpenAI SDK, and user-configured gateway operations., Secret reads/writes are for Azure Key Vault GitHub App auth and local m8t config/credential files documented in README.md., AI-agent instruction/tool mutations occur in explicit brain/a2a commands for Foundry agent management, not lifecycle or hidden execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.12. - Review the evidence and your use of @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.12 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
