Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 4.24.0 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package does not show a concrete malicious action or install-time behavior, but its default agent-invoked code runner exposes the parent process environment to submitted code. This warrants a warning for dangerous local code execution capability. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T15:37:22.530Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T15:38:30.326Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 3258 ms - **AI review time:** 63517 ms - **Total time:** 67796 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 concrete package-directed attack was established. The default execute tool runs supplied code locally with access to the server process environment, creating a conditional risk that submitted code can read environment secrets. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes the default execute tool with code that reads environment variables. - **Impact:** Submitted code could expose host environment values through available API operations or return them to the caller. No automatic installation-time execution or unrestricted network path was identified. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, server.js, options.js, code-tool.js, code-tool-worker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T15:38:30.326Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The Deno worker inherits the parent process environment and receives permission to read environment variables; its network access is restricted to the configured Roark API hostname. - **Rationale:** The package does not show a concrete malicious action or install-time behavior, but its default agent-invoked code runner exposes the parent process environment to submitted code. This warrants a warning for dangerous local code execution capability. - **Files touched:** package.json, server.js, options.js, code-tool.js, code-tool-worker.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest points to index.js and contains no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The server includes the execute tool by default, and the CLI defaults code execution to local mode., The local worker receives submitted code and evaluates it with the authenticated SDK client., The Deno worker receives the parent process environment and is granted environment access., The worker's network permission is limited to the configured Roark API hostname. - **Evidence against:** Code execution requires an execute tool call with supplied code; no automatic execution at installation was identified., The inspected local worker network grant is scoped to the configured API hostname. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@4.24.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@4.24.0 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.
