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:** 8.4.3 - **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. The setup and skills integration commands mutate agent configuration or skill directories when explicitly invoked, so the integration remains a warning-level capability. Inspected sources do not show a concrete attack or install-time execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:16:23.228Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:17:09.674Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 1984 ms - **AI review time:** 43695 ms - **Total time:** 46446 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:** The explicit setup command can install a server entry into a supported AI agent's configuration. This is a package-provided agent configuration capability, but the inspected code does not establish an active attack. - **Trigger:** A user runs the setup executable with the install-config option and supplies a supported client and install token. - **Impact:** The agent's configuration is changed to include the Respira server; no unconsented install-time mutation or credential theft was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/setup.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:17:09.674Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command fetches token-authorized Respira configuration and merges its server entry into the selected client's configuration file. - **Rationale:** The setup and skills integration commands mutate agent configuration or skill directories when explicitly invoked, so the integration remains a warning-level capability. Inspected sources do not show a concrete attack or install-time execution. - **Files touched:** dist/setup.js - **Network endpoints:** https://www.respira.press ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes setup and skills installers as executable commands, with no npm lifecycle hook in the manifest., The setup command accepts an explicit install-config flag and requires a supported client and install token., Setup fetches a server configuration using that token and merges its server entry into a selected agent configuration file., The skills command defaults to the user's Claude skills directory and copies bundled skill files there when invoked., Config resolution warns when a config file shadows environment credentials; it does not itself send those credentials elsewhere., The server process listing is used to identify sibling processes. - **Evidence against:** The agent configuration and skills changes are user-invoked; the inspected sources do not show them running from npm install hooks. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.4.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.4.3 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.
