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. The flagged agent configuration and skill operations require explicit commands, and credential-bearing setup checks target the configured WordPress site; no concrete attack behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T22:24:22.340Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T22:25:52.296Z - **Download time:** 1270 ms - **Static scan time:** 2607 ms - **AI review time:** 86076 ms - **Total time:** 89956 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 confirmed attack surface was identified. The inspected network calls support explicit setup diagnostics and version checking, while configuration and skill changes are command-driven. - **Trigger:** A user runs the setup or install-skills command, or invokes server diagnostics. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, lifecycle mutation, or agent-control change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T22:25:52.296Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup sends credentials to the configured WordPress site; optional agent configuration setup requires an explicit client and install token. Skill files are copied by a separate command, and existing skill files are skipped unless forced. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook. The flagged agent configuration and skill operations require explicit commands, and credential-bearing setup checks target the configured WordPress site; no concrete attack behavior was identified. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.claude.json, ~/.antigravity/mcp.json, ~/.hermes/config.yaml - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest lists command scripts and no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The configuration module uses local filesystem and path APIs; the flagged configuration excerpt is explanatory commentary about precedence., Skill installation is a separate command that copies bundled files, skips existing files by default, and accepts an explicit destination., Agent configuration setup requires an explicit --install-config command, a supported client, and an install token; it fetches from the configured Respira website and merges the named server entry., Setup connection checks send the supplied site API key and optional basic-auth credentials to endpoints formed from the entered or saved WordPress site URL., Doctor version checking contacts the npm registry; the server process scan reads process listings, and chat hygiene removes control characters and terminal sequences. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.6.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.6.3 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.

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@8.6.2 matchedIdentity = npm:[redacted]:8.6.2 similarity = 0.952 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 10.
