Network, file, and persistence operations are tied to named CLI commands for the package's Azure deployment and optional companion features. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-27T13:02:01.094Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-27T13:03:16.639Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 8156 ms - **AI review time:** 66884 ms - **Total time:** 75545 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. Network, file, and persistence operations are tied to named CLI commands for the package's Azure deployment and optional companion features. - **Trigger:** The user explicitly runs an m8t deployment, companion, or configuration command. - **Impact:** The CLI can modify the user's m8t deployment state and, on request, install its companion application. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T13:03:16.639Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked Azure management and optional companion installation. - **Rationale:** The scanner claims of credential redirection and command-output exfiltration were not supported by the inspected source. This is a deployment CLI with explicit privileged operations, but it has no install-time hook or confirmed malicious chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** The CLI patches DNS lookup only for Azure Foundry hostnames at startup., A user-invoked companion install command can download and install a desktop companion., The companion feature can create a per-user start-at-login entry when explicitly enabled. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly., No source path inspected sends harvested credentials, shell output, or local files to an unrelated receiver., The agent-host paths inspected are used for local skill drift checking, not automatic writes to those hosts., The companion installation and persistence paths are explicit CLI commands, not install-time behavior. ## Public findings ### 1.
