The explicit companion installer can also establish start-at-login persistence. - **Trigger:** A user runs \`m8t telemetry enroll\` or \`m8t companion install\`. - **Impact:** A service-controlled endpoint receives a bearer credential that can identify and authorize the signed-in Azure account; the companion can persist for the user. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T23:22:35.044Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Azure token transmission and user-level launch-agent registration. - **Rationale:** The package contains credential transmission and persistence capabilities, creating a real security risk. Static inspection did not show automatic npm install-time execution, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a malware block. - **Files touched:** ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.m8t.companion.plist - **Network endpoints:** m8t-admin.wonderfuldesert-721e332f.eastus2.azurecontainerapps.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The telemetry command obtains an Azure management access token and includes it as an Entra JWT proof in a POST body., The proof is sent to a hard-coded m8t administration endpoint., The companion installer can create a macOS start-at-login LaunchAgent. - **Evidence against:** The token transfer is reachable through the explicit \`m8t telemetry enroll\` command., package.json has no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The persistence code is part of the explicit \`m8t companion install\` command. ## Public findings ### 1.
