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 conflates expected privileged CLI behavior with exfiltration. Source inspection found no install-time execution, covert collection, or unconsented external control-surface mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T09:52:59.461Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T09:53:49.430Z - **Download time:** 1028 ms - **Static scan time:** 5541 ms - **AI review time:** 43398 ms - **Total time:** 49969 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. The CLI performs privileged cloud, GitHub, and optional companion operations only through registered user commands. - **Trigger:** User invokes m8t deployment, telemetry, agent-content, or companion commands. - **Impact:** Can modify the operator-selected m8t Azure/GitHub resources and install a first-party desktop companion when explicitly requested. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T09:53:49.430Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-directed Azure/GitHub API calls and verified companion installation. - **Rationale:** The scanner conflates expected privileged CLI behavior with exfiltration. Source inspection found no install-time execution, covert collection, or unconsented external control-surface mutation. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com, https://management.azure.com, https://ai.azure.com, https://m8t-admin.wonderfuldesert-721e332f.eastus2.azurecontainerapps.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence against:** package.json has only prepublishOnly; no install lifecycle hook., dist/cli.js executes CLI command dispatch, not hidden install-time work., Network and Azure/GitHub token use implement named, user-invoked deployment and management commands., Companion download verifies the release-pinned SHA-256 before unpacking. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.78. - Review the evidence and your use of @m8t-stack/cli@0.2.78 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.
