Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.12.5 - **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 scanner's reverse-shell label is unsupported: child\_process only launches a browser for explicit OAuth. The mutable remote instruction channel and full tool-argument telemetry are real risks, but source inspection does not establish malicious intent or a concrete malware chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T00:34:34.760Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T00:35:39.592Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 140 ms - **AI review time:** 63933 ms - **Total time:** 64832 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:** Running the MCP server automatically retrieves mutable Sapiom-authored instructions and presents them to connected MCP clients. This is an unsigned remote prompt/control channel, though no malicious payload or foreign agent-config mutation is present. - **Trigger:** User runs the sapiom-mcp MCP server. - **Impact:** A compromised or changed Sapiom API could alter connected agents' guidance without a package update. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/instructions-fetch.js, dist/register-tool.js, dist/auth.js, dist/credentials.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T00:35:39.592Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Runtime remote instruction fetch injected into MCP initialization - **Rationale:** The scanner's reverse-shell label is unsupported: child\_process only launches a browser for explicit OAuth. The mutable remote instruction channel and full tool-argument telemetry are real risks, but source inspection does not establish malicious intent or a concrete malware chain. - **Files touched:** ~/.sapiom/credentials.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.sapiom.ai/v1/mcp/instructions, https://api.sapiom.dev/v1/mcp/instructions, https://app.sapiom.ai/auth/cli, https://app.sapiom.dev/auth/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Entrypoint fetches mutable backend instructions at runtime and supplies them to the MCP handshake., Fetched instruction text is accepted verbatim without integrity verification., Every wrapped MCP tool records its complete arguments to analytics. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Browser/process spawning is limited to the explicit authentication tool and opens the OAuth URL., OAuth callback binds only to 127.0.0.1 and validates a random state., Network hosts are Sapiom endpoints configured by built-in presets or the user credential file. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sapiom/mcp@0.12.5. - Review the evidence and your use of @sapiom/mcp@0.12.5 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.
