@remcp/runtime@0.2.174
First-party ReMCP local device runtime: filesystem, terminal, computer-use, browser, diagnostics and document tools over MCP.
AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no install hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged dependency code provides DBus and MCP transport functionality, while telemetry is disclosed, scoped to usage events, and delivered through the paired agent.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user or paired ReMCP agent starts the runtime and invokes an available tool.
Impact
The inspected behavior supports the package’s stated local-device runtime function; no concrete attack impact was established.
Mechanism
The runtime serves MCP over standard input and output; requested filesystem operations resolve paths through its runtime path policy, and screenshot capture loads the DBus client when called.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no install hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged dependency code provides DBus and MCP transport functionality, while telemetry is disclosed, scoped to usage events, and delivered through the paired agent.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 89.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json defines only start, check, and test scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook.
- Telemetry is disclosed, can be disabled, and records sanitized usage events without file paths, commands, arguments, or tool output.
- Telemetry is sent through the runtime’s paired-agent MCP notification; the inspected MCP event subscription and stdio transport are ordinary protocol handling.
- The screenshot dependency is loaded inside the portal screenshot function, and filesystem tools expose requested read and write operations through MCP.
- Inspected dependency manifests contain build, lint, and test scripts; their source exports DBus and MCP protocol functionality.
