Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 8.3.4 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No concrete malware or unconsented install-time mutation was found. The explicit agent-config and skill installation capabilities remain a meaningful guarded control-surface risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T16:56:39.921Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T16:57:45.623Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 2179 ms - **AI review time:** 63014 ms - **Total time:** 65702 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:** Explicit commands can install a remotely supplied Respira MCP entry into selected AI-client configs and copy bundled skills into Claude’s skill directory. No install-time activation was found. - **Trigger:** User runs --install-config with a client and install token, or invokes install-skills. - **Impact:** Adds package-supplied or remote behavior to an AI-agent control surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/setup.js, dist/install-skills.js, dist/server.js, SOUL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T16:57:45.623Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote MCP-config installation and local AI-skill deployment. - **Rationale:** No concrete malware or unconsented install-time mutation was found. The explicit agent-config and skill installation capabilities remain a meaningful guarded control-surface risk. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.claude.json, ~/.antigravity/mcp.json, .cursor/mcp.json, ~/.claude/skills, skills/\*/SKILL.md - **Network endpoints:** https://www.respira.press ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Explicit setup fetches remote MCP configuration then writes it into AI-client config files., Explicit skill installer copies behavior-bearing SKILL.md files into Claude’s skills directory., Runtime loads package SOUL.md into MCP instructions, influencing connected agents. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Config mutation is gated by an explicit --install-config command, approved client name, and install token., Existing client config is parsed and only the selected MCP-server entry is merged. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.4 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.
