Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 8.6.6 - **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. Source inspection found no npm install hook or concrete attack behavior. Scanner similarity and agent-configuration hints correspond to ordinary runtime support and explicit user-run setup behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T15:19:30.111Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T15:20:24.032Z - **Download time:** 1024 ms - **Static scan time:** 2619 ms - **AI review time:** 50275 ms - **Total time:** 53921 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 surface was identified in the inspected package source. The flagged setup and runtime behavior is consistent with user-invoked product functions. - **Trigger:** The main server runs when launched by an MCP client; setup and skill copying require explicit CLI commands. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, agent configuration mutation, or other attack effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T15:20:24.032Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected code checks configured WordPress sites, fetches setup configuration from the Respira service, copies bundled skill files on request, and sanitizes tool output. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no npm install hook or concrete attack behavior. Scanner similarity and agent-configuration hints correspond to ordinary runtime support and explicit user-run setup behavior. - **Network endpoints:** https://www.respira.press, https://www.respira.press/mcp-spend/track ### 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 defines build and run scripts but no install lifecycle hook; setup and skill installation are separate CLI commands., The flagged agent configuration locations resolve to user-selected setup destinations or a user-run command that copies bundled skills, skipping existing files unless --force is used., Setup sends WordPress credentials to the configured site for connection checks; install tokens are sent to the Respira configuration endpoint when the explicit --install-config option is used., The flagged runtime code handles certificate trust, client identification, and sanitization of tool results; no attack behavior was identified in the inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.6.6. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.6.6 before allowing it.
