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 lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. Flagged agent configuration and network behavior is tied to explicit commands or user-selected WordPress destinations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T20:29:32.273Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T20:30:33.588Z - **Download time:** 1802 ms - **Static scan time:** 2630 ms - **AI review time:** 56879 ms - **Total time:** 61315 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 inspected source. Agent-related writes are tied to explicit setup or skill-install commands. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the setup or skill-install command. - **Impact:** The reviewed behavior does not establish unconsented agent-control changes, credential exfiltration, or another attack. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T20:30:33.588Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer copies bundled skills to its destination; setup retrieves a token-issued config for a selected client. The inspected server write updates Respira’s own local config. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no npm lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. Flagged agent configuration and network behavior is tied to explicit commands or user-selected WordPress destinations. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes server, setup, and skill-installer commands; the inspected scripts contain no npm lifecycle hook., The skill installer copies bundled files to a selected destination and skips existing skills unless the user supplies --force., The config installer requires an explicit command, selected client, and token; it requests that config from Respira’s website. Setup connection checks send credentials to the WordPress site URL provided for testing., The server’s inspected file write merges redeemed site data into Respira’s local config; it does not show an AI-agent configuration write., The other flagged files contain chat-output sanitization, certificate loading, and sanitized client identity handling. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.6.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.6.8 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.
