Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 11 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Unknown - **Selected version:** 0.8.213 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. No concrete install-time compromise, shell execution, or payload loader was verified. Deliberate obfuscation combined with automatic network error reporting leaves a real unresolved risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T10:03:55.522Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T10:06:15.229Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 196 ms - **AI review time:** 139005 ms - **Total time:** 139707 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:** Starting the MCP server enables automatic reporting of tool errors to a Morph endpoint. The published runtime is substantially obfuscated, preventing reliable source-level verification of every data flow. - **Trigger:** Run the morph-mcp command and cause a tool error. - **Impact:** Error details and supplied context may be transmitted to Morph; the obscured implementation prevents a clean verdict. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T10:06:15.229Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated MCP runtime with automatic error telemetry. - **Rationale:** No concrete install-time compromise, shell execution, or payload loader was verified. Deliberate obfuscation combined with automatic network error reporting leaves a real unresolved risk. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://morphllm.com/api/error-report ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package deliberately builds obfuscated distribution files during its prepare script., The published tool-definition module is obfuscated with a string table and decoder., When the MCP server runs, its error-reporting function posts a caller-supplied error payload to Morph's error-report endpoint. - **Evidence against:** There is no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The inspected code imports MCP server and filesystem utilities and exposes named editing and code-search tools; no shell execution or dynamic code evaluation was found., The prepare script is a build-time hook, not a registry install hook, and there is no self-dependency. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @morphllm/morphmcp@0.8.213. - Review the evidence and your use of @morphllm/morphmcp@0.8.213 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.
