## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. Network, cloud, repository, and local-state actions are explicit CLI features for managing the m8t Azure platform.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a specific m8t command, such as brain link or deployment commands.

- **Impact:** The requested command can change the user's selected cloud or repository resources, but no unconsented install-time or hidden execution was found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T04:04:54.266Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked Azure and GitHub management operations.

- **Rationale:** Static findings reflect the intended capabilities of a deployment CLI. Source inspection found no install-time execution, unrelated credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or stealth persistence.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; its only lifecycle-related script is prepublishOnly., The entrypoint runs a command dispatcher, so operational actions require an explicit m8t command., The brain-link flow displays an installation URL and waits for the user to install the GitHub App., Local configuration writes are limited to the package-owned ~/.m8t directory.

- **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or transmission to an unrelated fixed receiver was found., Azure tokens are requested for Azure or configured gateway scopes as part of the CLI's documented deployment operations., GitHub repository updates and app installation occur only through explicit brain commands with supplied repository arguments., Child-process use invokes named Azure, GitHub, Git, and archive tools for user-requested CLI operations; no shell payload or dynamic code execution was found.
