The explicit telemetry-enrollment command transmits an Azure management bearer token to a fixed package-controlled ingestion endpoint. This is not install-time behavior, but it exposes a credential when the command is run.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The explicit telemetry-enrollment command transmits an Azure management bearer token to a fixed package-controlled ingestion endpoint. This is not install-time behavior, but it exposes a credential when the command is run.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`m8t telemetry enroll\`.

- **Impact:** The receiver can obtain a reusable Azure management-plane bearer token.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T20:02:49.552Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Azure access-token collection and remote POST.

- **Rationale:** Source confirms credential transmission to a fixed external endpoint, but only through an explicit user command and with no install-time execution. This warrants a warning rather than a publish block.

- **Files touched:** dist/cli.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://m8t-admin.wonderfuldesert-721e332f.eastus2.azurecontainerapps.io/api/ingest/enroll

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** \`m8t telemetry enroll\` obtains an Azure management access token., It serializes that bearer token as \`proof\` and POSTs it to a fixed m8t ingestion host., The command description does not clearly disclose transmission of a reusable management token.

- **Evidence against:** No install/preinstall/postinstall hook; only \`prepublishOnly\` is declared., The token transmission is reachable only through the explicit \`telemetry enroll\` CLI command., The package identifies the operation as telemetry enrollment and supports optional contact fields.
