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

  warn25% of grade

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

  install hook "prepare" present and not a recognized benign build command; dependency "node-cron" is edit-distance 2 from popular package "nodemon" (typosquat candidate)

• Credential hygiene

  warn15% of grade

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

  debug-ssh.js: assigns a literal to password (0hbT…fv (len 16)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. test-ssh-direct.js: assigns a literal to password (0hbT…fv (len 16)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. examples/advanced-workflows.ts: assigns a literal to token (${GI…N} (len 20)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. examples/advanced-workflows.ts: assigns a literal to secret (${AL…T} (len 23)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. examples/azure-config.example.ts: embeds a PRIVATE KEY block. (in an example/sample file — lower severity, but a real key here still leaks.) tests/integration/protocols/azure-shell.test.ts: assigns a literal to token (mock…en (len 16)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/integration/protocols/azure-shell.test.ts: assigns a literal to token (vali…en (len 17)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/integration/protocols/azure-shell.test.ts: assigns a literal to token (expi…en (len 13)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/integration/protocols/ipmi.test.ts: assigns a literal to password (inva…rd (len 16)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/security/protocol-security.ts: assigns a literal to password (pass…00 (len 12)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/integration/protocols/sftp.test.ts: assigns a literal to password (wron…rd (len 13)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. examples/ssh-queue-test.ts: assigns a literal to password (your…rd (len 13)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. test/integration/ssh.test.ts: embeds a PRIVATE KEY block.

Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. debug-ssh.js) — the recommended intake shape.

• Permission scope

  warn15% of grade

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

  references credential paths: 5 files (test-mcp-ssh.js, examples/ssh-example.ts, src/test-smart-executor.ts, +2 more) has both shell/exec and network egress — capable of download-and-run, though no such path was observed (examples/basic-usage.js: imports child_process and calls exec/spawn; src/protocols/AzureProtocol.ts: outbound HTTP/socket call). has both shell/exec and destructive filesystem writes (examples/basic-usage.js: imports child_process and calls exec/spawn; pagination-performance-demo.cjs: destructive/writing fs.* call (write/unlink/rm/chmod/rename)). discloses shell/exec capability: 84 files (examples/basic-usage.js, debug-process-spawning.js, diagnostics-cli.js, +81 more) discloses dynamic code execution: src/core/DataPipelineManager.ts: uses new Function(…) discloses dynamic code execution: src/core/TriggerManager.ts: uses new Function(…) discloses dynamic code execution: src/core/WorkflowEngine.ts: uses new Function(…) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: 33 files (pagination-performance-demo.cjs, test-pagination-basic.cjs, debug-process-spawning.js, +30 more) 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 io.github.ooples/[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

  warn10% of grade

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

  manifest/source references heartbeat behavior — disclosure
