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. Inspected source shows no npm install lifecycle hook and no concrete attack behavior. Agent-facing writes are behind explicit user-run commands and selection, so this is a benign setup capability. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:16:08.075Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:16:35.459Z - **Download time:** 752 ms - **Static scan time:** 2058 ms - **AI review time:** 24572 ms - **Total time:** 27384 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 package has explicit setup and skill-install commands that can modify selected agent configuration or skills. - **Trigger:** A user explicitly runs the setup or install-skills command. - **Impact:** These commands configure the Respira integration or install its skills; no unconsented install-time change or malicious behavior was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:16:35.459Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup requires a chosen client and install token before fetching configuration from Respira; the skill installer uses a chosen destination and requires a force option to overwrite existing skills. - **Rationale:** Inspected source shows no npm install lifecycle hook and no concrete attack behavior. Agent-facing writes are behind explicit user-run commands and selection, so this is a benign setup capability. - **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:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines ordinary build/start scripts and no install lifecycle hook., The skill installer defaults to a Claude skills directory and accepts an explicit destination; overwriting requires a force flag., Setup maps explicit client selections to client configuration paths, including user-level Codex, Claude Code, and Antigravity locations., Config installation requires --install-config, a supported --client, and an --install-token; it fetches configuration from the Respira website., The flagged configuration excerpt in dist/config.js is a comment about config precedence, not a mutation or attack. - **Evidence against:** The package provides explicit commands capable of writing client configuration and installing skills; these operations are agent-facing setup capabilities. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.4.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.4.2 before allowing it.

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.

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 = 0.875 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 10. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json defines ordinary build/start scripts and no install lifecycle hook. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "scripts": { "build": "npm run bundle-skills && tsc", "bundle-skills": "node scripts/bundle-skills.mjs", "watch": "tsc --watch", "start": "node dist/index.js", ``` ### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Path:** dist/config.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The flagged configuration excerpt in dist/config.js is a comment about config precedence, not a mutation or attack. 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:** 92.0% - **Path:** dist/install-skills.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The skill installer defaults to a Claude skills directory and accepts an explicit destination; overwriting requires a force flag. 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:** 8.4.2 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-09-27T19:38:52.144Z - **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. 242 tools, 346 with WooCommerce, 17 page builders and the Site Editor.
