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. Scanner hits come from a large bundled Azure operator CLI with telemetry, az subprocesses, and gateway credential handling. Those paths are user-invoked and product-aligned, and there is no install-time hook or hidden exfiltration chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T07:37:58.231Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T07:41:11.937Z - **Download time:** 1026 ms - **Static scan time:** 5113 ms - **AI review time:** 187566 ms - **Total time:** 193706 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:** This package is an Azure m8t operator CLI. npm install does not run package code. Network, subprocess, and credential handling run only when a user executes m8t commands. - **Trigger:** Installing the package does nothing beyond placing files; later the user may run the m8t binary. - **Impact:** No unconsented install-time mutation or hidden credential theft was found - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T07:41:11.937Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** No confirmed malicious attack chain - **Rationale:** Scanner hits come from a large bundled Azure operator CLI with telemetry, az subprocesses, and gateway credential handling. Those paths are user-invoked and product-aligned, and there is no install-time hook or hidden exfiltration chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** User-invoked telemetry enroll can POST an Azure ARM access token to a hardcoded vendor ingest host., The CLI spawns Azure CLI and caches a discovered gateway URL under the operator home directory., Bind commands send operator-supplied bot tokens to the discovered m8t gateway. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hooks; the only lifecycle script is publisher-side prepublishOnly., The published entrypoint is a Clipanion CLI that runs when the user executes the m8t binary, not on npm install., Telemetry enroll is an explicit m8t telemetry enroll command, not a hidden import-time sender., Child process, Azure, GitHub, and Foundry calls match an Azure platform operator CLI, not a dropper., Claude and Copilot skill paths are read for an architect drift check; they are not written during npm install. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.143. - Review the evidence and your use of @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.143 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.
