## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 10 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.2.22
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 large but coherent operator CLI whose network, subprocess, secret, and file operations are tied to documented user commands. With no install-time hooks, stealth persistence, foreign control-surface mutation, or unrelated exfiltration, the scanner findings are package-aligned and noisy rather than malicious.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0%
- **Started:** 2026-07-08T09:30:14.294Z
- **Finished:** 2026-07-08T09:30:58.692Z
- **Download time:** 505 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1976 ms
- **AI review time:** 41916 ms
- **Total time:** 44398 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 suspicious primitives are part of a user-invoked deployment/admin CLI for m8t-stack.

- **Trigger:** Running explicit m8t commands such as brain link/create, deploy, bootstrap, bind, team, doctor, or eval.

- **Impact:** Can modify the user's own Azure, GitHub, Foundry, and local m8t-stack resources when commanded, but no stealth or install-time abuse was identified.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-08T09:30:58.692Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked Azure/GitHub management CLI with local config writes and subprocess calls

- **Rationale:** Static inspection shows a large but coherent operator CLI whose network, subprocess, secret, and file operations are tied to documented user commands. With no install-time hooks, stealth persistence, foreign control-surface mutation, or unrelated exfiltration, the scanner findings are package-aligned and noisy rather than malicious.

- **Files touched:** ~/.m8t-stack/config.yaml, ~/.m8t-stack/cli-config.yaml, ~/.m8t-stack/repo-root, ~/.m8t-stack/github-app.pem, ~/.m8t-stack/github-app.json, /tmp/m8t-brain-create-\*

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com, https://management.azure.com, https://ai.azure.com, https://auth.openai.com/oauth/token, https://api.openai.com/v1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** dist/cli.js contains user-invoked network calls to GitHub and Azure APIs and reads Azure Key Vault/GitHub App credentials for brain-link workflows., dist/cli.js uses child\_process spawn/spawnSync/execFileSync for expected az, gh, git, and browser-opening helper commands., dist/cli.js writes local operational state such as ~/.m8t-stack github app credentials, config, repo-root markers, temp brain repos, and generated verdict/feed files.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; only prepublishOnly builds before publishing., README.md describes an operator CLI for m8t-stack Azure/GitHub deployment management, matching observed functionality., dist/cli.js activates through the m8t bin and cli.run(process.argv.slice(2)); no hidden install-time behavior found., Network endpoints are package-aligned: api.github.com, management.azure.com, ai.azure.com, and user/discovered Azure project URLs., Secret handling is used to mint GitHub App tokens and patch Foundry connections; no unrelated credential harvesting or exfiltration path found., Local file writes are explicit command effects under ~/.m8t-stack, temp directories, or user-specified outputs, not broad AI-agent control hijack at install time.
