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. Static inspection shows a broad but package-aligned deployment/admin CLI with no install-time execution, covert credential harvesting, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation. The scanner findings are explained by documented user-invoked Azure/GitHub/Foundry workflows. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-03T04:07:44.722Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-03T04:09:05.142Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 1782 ms - **AI review time:** 78121 ms - **Total time:** 80420 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was found. The risky primitives are administrative CLI features for Azure, GitHub, Foundry agents, and m8t brain/a2a setup, activated by explicit commands rather than install/import time. - **Trigger:** User runs m8t commands such as brain link/create, a2a enable, deploy, bootstrap, or azure-exec deploy. - **Impact:** Can mutate Azure, GitHub, Foundry agents, local m8t config, and repos as documented for an operations CLI; no covert persistence or exfiltration identified. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-03T04:09:05.142Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked cloud administration CLI with GitHub/Azure API calls and local tool subprocesses. - **Rationale:** Static inspection shows a broad but package-aligned deployment/admin CLI with no install-time execution, covert credential harvesting, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation. The scanner findings are explained by documented user-invoked Azure/GitHub/Foundry workflows. - **Files touched:** ~/.m8t-stack/cli-config.yaml, ~/.m8t-stack/github-app.pem, ~/.m8t-stack/github-app.json, ~/.m8t-stack/foundry/\.yaml, apps/web/.env.local - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com, https://management.azure.com, https://ai.azure.com/.default, https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp, https://ghcr.io, https://api.openai.com/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** dist/cli.js contains child\_process use for az, gh, git, open/xdg-open/start, and pnpm., dist/cli.js can create/update GitHub repos and Foundry agents/connections when CLI commands are invoked., dist/cli.js adds MCP tools with require\_approval:"never" for m8t brain/a2a workflows, but through explicit brain/a2a commands. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install/postinstall/prepare hook; only prepublishOnly build is publisher-side., package.json bin points to dist/cli.js; execution is user-invoked as m8t CLI., README.md describes an Azure/GitHub m8t-stack operations CLI matching observed behavior., Network calls target package-aligned Azure, GitHub, GHCR, OpenAI SDK, and GitHub Copilot MCP endpoints., Secrets are read from Azure Key Vault/local user-specified app credentials for GitHub App token rotation; no unrelated exfil path found., Local writes are documented config/state under ~/.m8t-stack, temp brain repo staging, and explicit project files for CLI workflows. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.17. - Review the evidence and your use of @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.17 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.
