Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 8.3.19 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Static source inspection found no install lifecycle hooks. The agent configuration and skill operations are explicit commands with scoped behavior, and the inspected process scan supports launcher cleanup; no concrete attack surface was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:12:37.505Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:13:04.937Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 1707 ms - **AI review time:** 25213 ms - **Total time:** 27432 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 and skill changes inspected are activated through explicit CLI commands. - **Trigger:** A user runs the setup or skills installer command. - **Impact:** These actions can add or update package-owned configuration and skills after invocation; no confirmed malicious effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:13:04.937Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup fetches and merges the named Respira server config; the skills command copies bundled skill files and skips existing skills unless forced. - **Rationale:** Static source inspection found no install lifecycle hooks. The agent configuration and skill operations are explicit commands with scoped behavior, and the inspected process scan supports launcher cleanup; no concrete attack surface was established. - **Files touched:** dist/config.js, dist/install-skills.js, dist/setup.js, dist/server.js, package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no lifecycle hooks in its scripts; it exposes the server, setup, and skills installer as command entrypoints., dist/setup.js accepts --install-config only with a supported client and an install token; config installation is an explicit CLI action., dist/setup.js merges only the named Respira server entry into the selected client config. The Hermes path creates a missing or empty config and leaves a nonempty file untouched., dist/install-skills.js installs bundled skills through its explicit command; existing skills are skipped unless --force is supplied., dist/server.js process scanning is used to identify sibling Respira server processes for launcher cleanup., The indicated dist/config.js location is explanatory text about client config precedence; it does not establish an attack behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.19. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.19 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.

High: Trigger Reachable External Ai Agent Control Surface Mutation - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** dist/install-skills.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Manifest-trigger-reachable source writes behavior-bearing configuration into a user or project AI-agent control surface. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Manifest-trigger-reachable source links an external AI-agent control path to a behavior-bearing write operation. const bundled_skills_dir = path.resolve(__dirname, '..', 'skills'); const c = { reset: '\x1b[0m', bold: '\x1b[1m', dim: '\x1b[2m', red: '\x1b[31m', green: '\x1b[32m', yellow: '\x1b[33m', blue: '\x1b[34m', cyan: '\x1b[36m', }; function parseargs(argv) { const opts = { dest: path.join(os.homedir(), '.claude', 'skills'), force: false, help: false, }; for (let i = 0; i < argv.length; i++) { const arg = argv[i]; if (arg === '--help' || arg === '-h') { opts.help = true; } else if (arg === '--force' || arg === '-f') { opts.force = true; } else if ( ``` ### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 7. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 8. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** dist/config.js\#virtual:normalized:round1 - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 2 ``` ### 9. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/server.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.24 matchedIdentity = npm:[redacted]:8.3.24 similarity = 0.864 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 10. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json has no lifecycle hooks in its scripts; it exposes the server, setup, and skills installer as command entrypoints. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "main": "dist/index.js", "bin": { "wordpress-mcp-server": "./dist/index.js", "respira-wordpress-mcp": "./dist/index.js", "respira-setup": "./dist/setup.js ``` ### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** dist/config.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The indicated dist/config.js location is explanatory text about client config precedence; it does not establish an attack behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript `.mcp.json`, or a RESPIRA_CONFIG_B64 pasted into the * client entry, silently outranks the file the operator just edited, and * nothing said so. * * That is 703 respira_site_id ``` ### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** dist/install-skills.js - **Public source:** [View source]() dist/install-skills.js installs bundled skills through its explicit command; existing skills are skipped unless --force is supplied.
