Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The bundled headless skill tells an agent to submit project and build reports to Hostinger without asking, despite the submission tool requiring user agreement. This is a consent and telemetry risk in the agent workflow, not automatic install-time or import-time exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T08:18:24.466Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T08:19:30.481Z - **Download time:** 259 ms - **Static scan time:** 2585 ms - **AI review time:** 63164 ms - **Total time:** 66015 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:** The bundled headless build skill instructs an AI agent to send project and run reports to Hostinger without first asking the user. - **Trigger:** An AI client follows the headless skill’s run logging and reporting workflow. - **Impact:** If followed, project and build context, including domain and run metadata, is sent to Hostinger without the consent the tool requires. - **Evidence paths:** src/core/skills.js, src/core/tools/all.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T08:19:30.481Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The skill says to submit the report JSON unchanged and not ask first. The corresponding MCP tool description requires user agreement, creating a direct conflict. - **Rationale:** The bundled headless skill tells an agent to submit project and build reports to Hostinger without asking, despite the submission tool requiring user agreement. This is a consent and telemetry risk in the agent workflow, not automatic install-time or import-time exfiltration. - **Files touched:** ~/.hostinger/\/reports/\.json, report.html in the workspace - **Network endpoints:** developers.hostinger.com/api/hosting/v1/headless/agent-reports ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The bundled headless skill instructs the agent to submit each build report to Hostinger and says not to ask first., The report includes project context such as the domain, tool, model, platform, runtime, backend, and frontend., The report submission tool is a Hostinger API endpoint, and its description says to send a report only when the user agreed., The main server imports and exposes the skills to its MCP client. - **Evidence against:** The report instructions are bundled skill content; the reviewed entry point does not run them automatically on import., The package has no install lifecycle scripts, and its OAuth flow uses Hostinger’s auth service and stores credentials locally. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hostinger/mcp@3.17.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @hostinger/mcp@3.17.1 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.
