## 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:** 0.2.23
- **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.

The scanner signals reflect an operator-focused cloud-management CLI with intentionally privileged, user-invoked commands. Source inspection found no install-time execution, stealth persistence, foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation, or exfiltration behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-07-11T14:15:19.929Z
- **Finished:** 2026-07-11T14:16:28.997Z

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. Explicit \`m8t\` commands administer the user's Azure/Foundry deployment and GitHub brain repositories, including scoped local configuration writes.

- **Trigger:** User explicitly invokes an \`m8t\` management or bootstrap command.

- **Impact:** Authorized command use can modify the user's selected cloud resources, repositories, and \`~/.m8t-stack\` state; installation and import do not trigger it.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-11T14:16:28.997Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Documented Azure/GitHub deployment administration via CLI commands.

- **Rationale:** The scanner signals reflect an operator-focused cloud-management CLI with intentionally privileged, user-invoked commands. Source inspection found no install-time execution, stealth persistence, foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation, or exfiltration behavior.

- **Files touched:** .m8t/brain.yaml, ~/.m8t-stack/config.yaml, ~/.m8t-stack/bootstrap.json, ~/.m8t-stack/repo-root

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com, https://management.azure.com, https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** \`dist/cli.js\` has explicit commands that administer Azure, GitHub, and Foundry resources., \`dist/cli.js\` invokes \`az\`, \`git\`, \`gh\`, and user-requested bootstrap UI tooling.

- **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; only \`prepublishOnly\`., \`dist/cli.js\` enters command dispatch through \`cli.run(process.argv.slice(2))\`; no import-time operational action., Subprocess calls in \`dist/cli.js\` use fixed executables and argument arrays for documented CLI workflows., Network requests target Azure, GitHub, and GitHub Copilot endpoints aligned with the documented deployment/brain commands., No \`eval\`, \`Function\`, VM loading, hidden payload decoding, or credential exfiltration path was found.
