Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Persistence - **Selected version:** 0.2.71 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No concrete malicious install-time or stealth-exfiltration chain was established. The explicit persisted companion installer and token-bearing telemetry enrollment remain high-impact capabilities requiring a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-04T09:57:43.691Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-04T09:58:31.714Z - **Download time:** 1275 ms - **Static scan time:** 4880 ms - **AI review time:** 41866 ms - **Total time:** 48023 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:** Explicit CLI commands can send an Azure token for telemetry enrollment and install a vendor desktop companion that starts at login. No install-time execution or unconsented foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. - **Trigger:** User runs \`m8t telemetry enroll\`, \`m8t companion install\`, or bootstrap status completion. - **Impact:** A user-authorized command can disclose an Azure bearer token to the vendor endpoint or install and persist a downloaded executable. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T09:58:31.714Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** user-invoked cloud administration, telemetry enrollment, and persisted companion installation - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious install-time or stealth-exfiltration chain was established. The explicit persisted companion installer and token-bearing telemetry enrollment remain high-impact capabilities requiring a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.m8t/companion, ~/Applications/m8t Companion.app, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.m8t.companion.plist, HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run - **Network endpoints:** https://m8t-admin.wonderfuldesert-721e332f.eastus2.azurecontainerapps.io/api/ingest/enroll, https://github.com/m8t-labs/m8t/releases/latest/download/manifest.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** dist/cli.js: telemetry enroll POSTs an Azure access token to the m8t ingest endpoint., dist/cli.js: companion install downloads, unpacks, and launches a remote release artifact., dist/cli.js: companion install enables macOS LaunchAgent or Windows Run-key persistence., dist/cli.js: bootstrap status flow can invoke companion installation. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly only builds., All observed sensitive/network actions are reached through named CLI commands., Remote companion assets are size- and SHA-256-checked before installation., Telemetry command disclosure states contact fields are opt-in. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.71. - Review the evidence and your use of @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.71 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.
