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:** 8.3.25 - **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. The inspected source shows no npm lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. Agent-related writes are tied to explicit commands, and the skill installer respects existing files unless forced. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:12:43.491Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:13:24.188Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 2422 ms - **AI review time:** 38020 ms - **Total time:** 40697 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 in the inspected source. Agent configuration and bundled skill writes are exposed through separate setup or install commands. - **Trigger:** Explicitly invoking the setup wizard or the install-skills command. - **Impact:** These commands can modify agent configuration or install skills when run, but the inspected source does not establish an unconsented install-time mutation or a concrete attack. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:13:24.188Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup fetches a server configuration and merges its named entry into a supported client config; install-skills copies bundled skill files, with existing files skipped unless --force is specified. - **Rationale:** The inspected source shows no npm lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. Agent-related writes are tied to explicit commands, and the skill installer respects existing files unless forced. - **Files touched:** dist/config.js, dist/install-skills.js, dist/setup.js, dist/server.js, package.json - **Network endpoints:** respira.press ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json identifies the package and exposes separate server, setup, and skill-install commands; it has no install lifecycle hook., The flagged config.js location is explanatory text about config precedence; it does not itself change agent configuration., install-skills copies bundled skills to a user-selected destination and skips existing skills unless --force is given; it is a separate command., setup.js selects client config paths, fetches config, and writes the named server entry when its setup path runs., setup.js only runs the setup wizard when invoked with --setup or -s., server.js imports normal MCP server and WordPress client components; no attack behavior is established by the inspected entry excerpt. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.25. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.25 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.

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 = 0.958 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 10. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json identifies the package and exposes separate server, setup, and skill-install commands; it has no install lifecycle hook.

Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Path:** dist/config.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The flagged config.js location is explanatory text about config precedence; it does not itself change agent configuration. 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:** 78.0% - **Path:** dist/install-skills.js - **Public source:** [View source]() install-skills copies bundled skills to a user-selected destination and skips existing skills unless --force is given; it is a separate command.
