## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. Privileged operations occur only through named CLI commands.

- **Trigger:** A user explicitly runs brain link, telemetry enroll, or companion install.

- **Impact:** These commands can modify the selected deployment, repository, or local companion installation as described.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T01:50:03.077Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked Azure, GitHub, telemetry, and companion management.

- **Rationale:** The package is a deployment CLI with expected privileged capabilities, but none run during npm installation or without an explicit command. The flagged network and repository writes are package-aligned operations with visible command handlers.

- **Files touched:** .m8t/brain.yaml

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com, https://m8t-admin.wonderfuldesert-721e332f.eastus2.azurecontainerapps.io

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The manifest exposes a CLI binary and has no install lifecycle hook., The GitHub repository update is part of the explicit brain link command and requires a repository argument., Telemetry enrollment is an explicit command that only includes company or contact details when supplied., Desktop companion download and startup installation require an explicit companion install command.

- **Evidence against:** No install-time, import-time, or hidden execution path was found., Network, credential, and file operations implement the advertised Azure, GitHub, telemetry, and companion CLI features rather than covert collection or redirection., The scanner's overwrite and persistence findings refer to user-invoked setup commands, not package installation.
