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 reviewed integration writes are user-invoked setup operations, and the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. The inspected sources show no concrete attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:16:36.191Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:17:42.475Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 1983 ms - **AI review time:** 63541 ms - **Total time:** 66284 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 setup and skill copying are activated through explicit commands. - **Trigger:** A user runs the setup command with install-config and a client and token, or runs the separate skill installer. - **Impact:** These commands can update the selected agent configuration or install bundled skills; no package-install-triggered mutation or unrelated agent control change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:17:42.475Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup fetches and merges the named Respira server configuration; the skill installer copies bundled skills and skips existing ones unless force is selected. - **Rationale:** The reviewed integration writes are user-invoked setup operations, and the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. The inspected sources show no concrete attack behavior. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills, client configuration selected by setup - **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:** The manifest exposes setup and skill installation as separate commands and declares no install lifecycle hook., The flagged config location is comment text; executable code describes the active config source., The skill installer copies bundled skills when run and skips existing skills unless force is enabled., Setup requires an explicit install-config command, an allowed client, and a supplied install token; it fetches the matching server config and merges it into the selected client config., The setup endpoint defaults to the Respira website; no credential theft or unrelated configuration mutation was established., The server’s bounded process listing supports sibling-process detection. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.4.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.4.4 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.

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:** 91.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The manifest exposes setup and skill installation as separate commands and declares no install lifecycle hook.
