## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was found. The flagged credential transmission occurs only when the user runs the telemetry enrollment command.

- **Trigger:** The user runs m8t telemetry enroll.

- **Impact:** The service receives an Azure identity token during the explicitly requested enrollment flow.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T16:20:51.863Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Posts enrollment proof to the package service.

- **Rationale:** This is a deployment-management CLI with privileged user-invoked Azure operations. The reported network and credential behavior is constrained to an explicit enrollment command, while installation has no automatic lifecycle execution.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The explicit telemetry enrollment command obtains an Azure access token and posts it to the m8t ingest service., The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly.

- **Evidence against:** The token-bearing request is reached through the user-invoked telemetry enroll command, not at install or import time., Optional contact fields are only included when supplied as command options., No automatic agent-control-surface mutation or runtime self-dependency was found.
