What we checked

Six static checks, weighted by risk. Every result reflects only what could be observed in the published package and repository — never intent.

• Injection surface

  unscannable25% of grade

  Tool descriptions/manifest scanned for instruction-injection patterns (imperatives at the model, hidden text, 'ignore previous', data-exfil URLs).

  No tool descriptions, server instructions, prompts, or resources were fetched; nothing to scan for injection.

• Supply chain

  fail25% of grade

  Package provenance: namespace verification, repo linkage, maintainer count, account age, postinstall scripts, typosquat distance.

  Python build script executes at build time: network call in build script

• Credential hygiene

  pass15% of grade

  How the server takes secrets (env vs plaintext config vs hardcoded); secrets appearing in tool schemas.

  Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/commands/init_cmd/_interactive.py) — the recommended intake shape. PASS = no static red flag; static analysis cannot prove the code honors env-based secret handling at runtime.

• Permission scope

  fail15% of grade

  Declared tools vs. breadth (filesystem, network, exec); flags shell-exec and unbounded filesystem access.

  HIGH: packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/mcp_config.py: references a sensitive credential path (/mcp.json) — the tool-poisoning exfiltration target. HIGH: shell/exec capability AND network egress together — download-and-execute risk (packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/commands/augment_cmd.py: subprocess.* call; packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/commands/serve_cmd.py: outbound HTTP/socket call). HIGH: shell/exec capability AND destructive filesystem writes together (packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/commands/augment_cmd.py: subprocess.* call; packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/commands/serve_cmd.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.)). discloses shell/exec capability: packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/commands/augment_cmd.py: subprocess.* call discloses shell/exec capability: packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/commands/distill_cmd.py: subprocess.* call with shell=True (command-injection prone) discloses shell/exec capability: packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/commands/serve_cmd.py: subprocess.* call discloses shell/exec capability: packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/editor_integrations/codex_config.py: subprocess.* call discloses shell/exec capability: packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/mcp_config.py: subprocess.* call discloses shell/exec capability: packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/ui/repo_scanner.py: subprocess.* call discloses shell/exec capability: packages/core/src/repowise/core/analysis/change_risk/features.py: subprocess.* call discloses shell/exec capability: packages/core/src/repowise/core/generation/editor_files/fetcher.py: subprocess.* call discloses dynamic code execution: packages/core/src/repowise/core/analysis/dead_code/dynamic_markers.py: uses eval/exec/__import__ discloses dynamic code execution: packages/core/src/repowise/core/ingestion/parser.py: uses eval/exec/__import__ discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/commands/serve_cmd.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: packages/cli/src/repowise/cli/helpers.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: packages/core/src/repowise/core/analysis/health/duplication/token_cache.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: packages/core/src/repowise/core/fs_walk.py: recursive glob ('**') from a broad root discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: packages/core/src/repowise/core/ingestion/external_systems/go.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: packages/core/src/repowise/core/ingestion/graph/_centrality_cache.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: packages/core/src/repowise/core/ingestion/parse_cache.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: packages/core/src/repowise/core/ingestion/resolvers/ts_workspace.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: packages/core/src/repowise/core/ingestion/traverser.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access Capability DISCLOSURE, not a verdict: static analysis sees the primitive is present and reachable, not whether its use is attacker-controlled.

• Version behavior

  unscannable10% of grade

  Diff of tool definitions between versions; new permissions or changed descriptions in a patch release (the postmark-mcp class).

  no prior version to diff (first sight of dev.repowise/[email protected]); version-drift / rug-pull cannot be evaluated. Cold-start risk is covered by point-in-time checks (injection_surface, supply_chain, credential_hygiene), not here.

• Transport config

  fail10% of grade

  Remote servers: TLS and auth mode (none/token/OAuth). Local servers: whether the manifest indicates it phones home.

  source performs runtime self-update / download-and-execute (bypasses version_behavior); sends telemetry to third-party SDK (posthog) — disclosure, verify opt-in; manifest/source references tracking behavior — disclosure
