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. Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. Agent configuration changes are initiated by explicit commands, and the setup fetch targets the package's Respira service with a supplied token. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:14:26.021Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:15:14.066Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 1969 ms - **AI review time:** 45299 ms - **Total time:** 48045 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. Agent configuration and skill files are changed through separate setup or install commands. - **Trigger:** A user explicitly runs the setup or skills command; setup configuration requires an install token. - **Impact:** These actions configure the package's own WordPress MCP integration and skills; inspected source did not establish covert control-surface mutation or credential theft. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:15:14.066Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup fetches a Respira MCP configuration and merges one named server entry into a selected client configuration. The skills command copies bundled files to a selected skills directory. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. Agent configuration changes are initiated by explicit commands, and the setup fetch targets the package's Respira service with a supplied token. - **Files touched:** dist/config.js, dist/install-skills.js, dist/setup.js, dist/server.js, package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://www.respira.press ### 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 defines no install lifecycle hook; setup is a separate, explicitly invoked command., Setup targets named agent configuration files, fetches config from the Respira website using a supplied install token, and writes a single named MCP server entry., The skills installer copies bundled skill files only when its command is invoked; existing files are skipped unless force is specified., The flagged config location describes configuration precedence; it does not show secret collection or exfiltration., The server's process-list command is limited to diagnostic process inspection. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.27. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.27 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.
