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. The reverse-shell finding is a false positive: child\_process is limited to opening the user-facing OAuth browser URL, while the callback is loopback-only and state-validated. Remote instruction and analytics behavior are vendor-aligned runtime features, not a concrete malicious chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T06:27:29.489Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T06:28:57.723Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 142 ms - **AI review time:** 87589 ms - **Total time:** 88234 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 malicious attack surface was found. The package runs an explicitly invoked MCP server, performs vendor OAuth, and exposes declared developer tools; it has no install hook or unauthorized persistence. - **Trigger:** User runs sapiom-mcp or configures and starts this MCP server. - **Impact:** No confirmed unauthorized execution, exfiltration, destructive action, or AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/auth.js, dist/credentials.js, dist/instructions-fetch.js, dist/register-tool.js, dist/tools/authenticate.js, dist/tools/sandbox.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T06:28:57.723Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** stdio MCP developer tooling with OAuth and Sapiom API calls - **Rationale:** The reverse-shell finding is a false positive: child\_process is limited to opening the user-facing OAuth browser URL, while the callback is loopback-only and state-validated. Remote instruction and analytics behavior are vendor-aligned runtime features, not a concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** ~/.sapiom/credentials.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.sapiom.ai, https://api.sapiom.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** No npm lifecycle hook is declared; the manifest only exposes the MCP bin and development scripts., The flagged child-process code only launches the OAuth URL with platform browser openers., OAuth uses a loopback callback and validates a random state before token exchange., Credential storage is limited to ~/.sapiom/credentials.json with restrictive write permissions., Remote instructions are fetched from the configured Sapiom API and have a bundled offline fallback; no static malicious payload is present. - **Evidence against:** Starting the MCP server fetches remotely changeable instruction text that capable clients may surface to a model., Tool-call analytics captures supplied tool arguments for the vendor telemetry pipeline. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sapiom/mcp@0.12.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @sapiom/mcp@0.12.8 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.
