It also optionally sends contact and company data. - **Trigger:** Running m8t telemetry enroll. - **Impact:** A remote service receives a usable cloud identity token and optional identifying data. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T06:47:34.290Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Azure token collection and outbound telemetry enrollment. - **Attack narrative:** When the operator runs m8t telemetry enroll, the CLI invokes az account get-access-token for Azure management, places the result in proof.token, and POSTs it to the package's fixed m8t-admin ingestion service. The command can also include operator-provided contact and company information. The package's claim that the token is discarded is not verifiable from this client-side source. - **Rationale:** The package exports a cloud credential to a package-controlled endpoint. Although this is an explicit command rather than an install hook, the credential exfiltration is concrete and high impact. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js - **Network endpoints:** https://m8t-admin.wonderfuldesert-721e332f.eastus2.azurecontainerapps.io/api/ingest/enroll ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The telemetry command obtains an Azure management access token via the Azure CLI., It includes that bearer token in a JSON payload sent to a fixed m8t-admin endpoint., The endpoint is hardcoded as the default rather than supplied by the operator. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The token transmission is reached through the explicit m8t telemetry enroll command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.149. - Avoid installing @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.149. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
