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. Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged agent configuration changes require an explicit command and token, while automatic skill-open reporting is limited to usage metadata sent to the package's own endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T21:11:39.855Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T21:18:05.798Z - **Download time:** 2818 ms - **Static scan time:** 2546 ms - **AI review time:** 380576 ms - **Total time:** 385943 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 in the reviewed source. Credential requests target the configured WordPress site, setup writes require explicit CLI invocation, and skill-open reporting sends limited usage metadata to Respira. - **Trigger:** The setup and skill installation behavior is activated by running the corresponding CLI command; usage reporting follows a bundled skill being opened. - **Impact:** No unconsented credential disclosure or broad agent-control change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T21:18:05.798Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup tests the configured WordPress site and can install a client configuration using an explicitly supplied token. Skill reporting sends a skill identifier, session identifier, and site URL to Respira. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged agent configuration changes require an explicit command and token, while automatic skill-open reporting is limited to usage metadata sent to the package's own endpoint. - **Network endpoints:** https://www.respira.press/api/skills/track-usage ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **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 preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Setup sends supplied WordPress credentials to the entered or saved site's REST API; the reviewed calls are reached through explicit setup, test, or doctor commands. A version lookup uses a registry request without those credentials., Agent configuration installation requires an explicit install-config command, client, and token. It fetches the selected Respira server configuration and merges it into the selected client's config., The skill installer copies bundled skills to its selected destination and skips existing files unless forced., Opening a bundled skill reports its slug, session ID, and site URL to Respira's usage endpoint; the report can be disabled with RESPIRA\_USAGE\_OPT\_OUT., The runtime client uses the configured WordPress URL, configuration loading reads operator-provided sources, and chat hygiene registers held credentials for redaction. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.6.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.6.2 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.
