Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest exposes commands but no install lifecycle hook. Inspected configuration and skill writes are command-triggered and scoped to Respira’s client entry or bundled skills; no concrete attack behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:14:58.579Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:15:33.547Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 1956 ms - **AI review time:** 32499 ms - **Total time:** 34968 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:** No attack was identified. The agent configuration changes are activated by explicit setup commands and are limited to installing this server’s configuration or bundled skills. - **Trigger:** A user explicitly runs the setup installer with a client and token, or runs the standalone skills installer. - **Impact:** These actions configure the package for the user. No unconsented install-time mutation or unrelated agent control-surface change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:15:33.547Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup merges the Respira server entry into a selected client config; the skills command copies bundled skill files. Server redemption stores merged WordPress site settings in the Respira config file. - **Rationale:** The manifest exposes commands but no install lifecycle hook. Inspected configuration and skill writes are command-triggered and scoped to Respira’s client entry or bundled skills; no concrete attack behavior was found. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/config.js, dist/install-skills.js, dist/setup.js, dist/server.js - **Network endpoints:** respira.press ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines the server and setup command entrypoints; it has no install lifecycle hook., The config.js target is diagnostic comment text about configuration precedence, not a write operation., The standalone skills command defaults to the user’s Claude skills directory and copies bundled skill files when invoked., The setup command accepts an explicit install-config option and requires a client and install token., Setup targets named client configuration files and merges the Respira server entry into existing configuration., Server redemption writes merged site configuration to the configured Respira config file. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.12. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.12 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.
