- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 8.4.6
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected configuration and skill changes are explicitly activated and serve this package's WordPress MCP setup. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected network call sends a supplied token to the package's Respira endpoint.

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. Configuration setup and skill installation require explicit commands or tool calls.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the setup or skill installation command, or calls the token redemption tool.

- **Impact:** These actions modify configuration or skill files at the requested setup destination. No malicious behavior was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:18:35.228Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The package adds its own server configuration or copies its bundled skills; existing skills are skipped unless the user forces overwrite.

- **Rationale:** The inspected configuration and skill changes are explicitly activated and serve this package's WordPress MCP setup. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected network call sends a supplied token to the package's Respira endpoint.

- **Files touched:** ~/.respira/config.json, ~/.claude/skills/\<skill\>/SKILL.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://www.respira.press/api/cowork/redeem

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the server and setup commands and has no npm install lifecycle hook., dist/config.js describes the package's own configuration sources and precedence., dist/install-skills.js runs as an explicit command, installs bundled skills to the Claude skills directory, and skips existing skills unless forced., dist/setup.js requires an explicit install-config command with a supported client and install token before writing that client's configuration., dist/server.js redeems a supplied setup token through the Respira API for this package's own configuration.

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',

};
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];

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](<https://unpkg.com/@respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.4.6/dist/server.js>)

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:** 96.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.4.6/package.json>)

package.json exposes the server and setup commands and has no npm 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",

- **Path:** dist/config.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.4.6/dist/config.js>)

dist/config.js describes the package's own configuration sources and precedence.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
* config won. A workspace `.mcp.json`, or a RESPIRA_CONFIG_B64 pasted into the
 * client entry, silently outranks the file the operator just edited, and
 * nothing said so.

export function describeConfigOrigin() {
    const b64 = process.env.RESPIRA_CONFIG_B64?.trim();
    const explicitFile = process.env.RESPIRA_CONFIG_FILE?.trim();
