Explicit telemetry enrollment transmits a cloud identity token to the package's fixed ingest endpoint. Explicit companion installation downloads and persists a package-owned desktop companion at login. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-16T18:30:43.653Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-16T18:32:07.708Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 7437 ms - **AI review time:** 75859 ms - **Total time:** 84055 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit telemetry enrollment transmits a cloud identity token to the package's fixed ingest endpoint. Explicit companion installation downloads and persists a package-owned desktop companion at login. - **Trigger:** User runs \`m8t telemetry enroll\` or \`m8t companion install\`. - **Impact:** The service receives a bearer token during enrollment; companion installation creates a login-persistent local executable. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T18:32:07.708Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** user-invoked credential transmission and companion lifecycle installation - **Rationale:** The scanner's install-time and foreign-overwrite implications are unsupported by the manifest and source. The package still exposes explicit credential-transfer and persistent companion-install capabilities. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, ~/.m8t/companion/install-v1.json, ~/.m8t/companion/runtime-v1.json, ~/Applications/m8t Companion.app - **Network endpoints:** https://m8t-admin.wonderfuldesert-721e332f.eastus2.azurecontainerapps.io/api/ingest/enroll ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** \`telemetry enroll\` obtains an Azure management access token and POSTs it to a fixed m8t ingest host., Explicit \`companion install\` downloads a release artifact, installs an m8t companion, and enables start-at-login. - **Evidence against:** package.json has only \`prepublishOnly\`; there are no npm install lifecycle hooks., Telemetry enrollment is an explicit CLI command and its compiled disclosure describes the token use., Companion files are confined to m8t-named per-user paths and the installer validates artifact contents. ## Public findings ### 1.
