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 agent configuration and skill writes require explicit commands and install package-aligned content. The manifest exposes no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed source established no concrete attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:14:25.962Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:14:58.638Z - **Download time:** 755 ms - **Static scan time:** 2049 ms - **AI review time:** 29870 ms - **Total time:** 32676 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 setup and bundled skill installation are exposed as explicit commands. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the setup or skills-install command. - **Impact:** These operations can add package-owned configuration or skills after user invocation; no confirmed malicious effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:14:58.638Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup fetches a client-specific configuration using a supplied install token; the skills utility copies bundled files to a selected destination and skips existing files unless overwrite is requested. - **Rationale:** The inspected agent configuration and skill writes require explicit commands and install package-aligned content. The manifest exposes no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed source established no concrete attack behavior. ### 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 exposes the server, setup utility, and skills installer as executable entry points; its listed scripts contain no install lifecycle hook., The flagged config.js location discusses which configuration source takes precedence; the implementation reports the active source and resolved sites., The skills installer accepts a caller-selected destination and skips existing skill files unless overwrite is requested; it copies bundled skill files when explicitly run., Agent configuration installation requires the explicit --install-config command with a supported client and install token., The server source includes WordPress content lookup behavior consistent with the package’s stated purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.28. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.28 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 = 0.917 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 exposes the server, setup utility, and skills installer as executable entry points; its listed scripts contain no install lifecycle hook. 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", "respira-install-skills": "./dist ``` ### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** dist/config.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The flagged config.js location discusses which configuration source takes precedence; the implementation reports the active source and resolved sites. 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]() The skills installer accepts a caller-selected destination and skips existing skill files unless overwrite is requested; it copies bundled skill files when explicitly run. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript '.claude', 'skills'), force: false, help: false, }; for (let i = 0; i < argv.length; i++) { const arg = argv[i]; if (arg === '--help' || arg ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 7 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 6 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 7 ### Published dependency entries - @iarna/toml ^2.2.5 (Dependency) - @modelcontextprotocol/client ^2.0.0 (Dependency) - @modelcontextprotocol/server ^2.0.0 (Dependency) - @sentry/node ^10.69.0 (Dependency) - axios ^1.19.0 (Dependency) - dotenv ^16.3.1 (Dependency) - form-data ^4.0.6 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @respira/wordpress-mcp-server - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 8.3.28 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-09-18T21:45:51.076Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T22:34:47.755Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-10-21T08:31:22.516Z - **Known versions:** 69 - **Latest version:** 8.6.9 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** WordPress MCP server + companion plugin giving AI native access to page builder content, not just the REST API. 231 tools, 335 with WooCommerce, 17 page builders and the Site Editor.
