AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the reviewed agent configuration and skill writes are behind explicit commands. The inspected source supports the package's stated WordPress MCP purpose and shows no concrete malicious behavior.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user invokes the setup or install-skills command.

Impact

These explicit actions can update the user's selected agent configuration or skill directory; no malicious effect was established.

Mechanism

Setup can fetch and merge configuration for a selected supported client when given an install token; the skill installer copies bundled skill files to its destination.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json points to the MCP server and exposes setup and skill installation as separate commands; it declares no lifecycle scripts.
dist/config.js describes configuration precedence for WordPress site credentials; the cited text is explanatory, not a write or exfiltration operation.
dist/install-skills.js defaults to installing bundled skills in the user's Claude skills directory; installation is a separately invoked command.
dist/setup.js targets agent configuration files, while its CLI requires an explicit --install-config command, a supported client, and an install token.
dist/server.js describes a WordPress MCP server that provides tools for AI coding assistants.
