## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Privileged cloud, GitHub, telemetry, and desktop-persistence actions require explicit CLI commands and are described by those commands.

- **Trigger:** User invokes a relevant m8t CLI subcommand.

- **Impact:** No unconsented install-time mutation, credential exfiltration, or remote payload execution confirmed.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T11:48:10.152Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Deployment-management CLI operations

- **Rationale:** The static hints conflate explicit platform-management commands with install-time compromise. Direct inspection found no lifecycle execution or concrete unconsented malicious chain.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; prepublishOnly only builds before publishing., dist/cli.js runs CLI command dispatch only; no hidden import-time network or file-harvesting path found., Network and credential use is tied to explicit Azure/GitHub/m8t deployment commands., Telemetry enrollment explicitly discloses and requires \`m8t telemetry enroll\`; optional contact fields are user-supplied., Agent-content downloads are explicit, GitHub-scoped, and content-hash checked before hydration., Companion persistence is confined to explicit \`m8t companion install/repair\` commands.
