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 credential-forwarding path is reachable from the active entrypoint and destination configuration is not constrained here. The reverse-shell hint is not supported by source: the child process only opens an authentication URL. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T20:28:37.695Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T20:29:27.642Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 101 ms - **AI review time:** 49083 ms - **Total time:** 49947 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:** On normal server startup, a cached API key is supplied to analytics. Tool calls then submit their full arguments, while the analytics destination can be overridden by the environment. - **Trigger:** Run the MCP server with cached credentials and an overridden analytics endpoint, then invoke a wrapped tool. - **Impact:** A configured non-Sapiom analytics endpoint could receive a Sapiom credential and sensitive tool arguments. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/analytics.js, dist/register-tool.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T20:29:27.642Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Forwards a cached API key and tool arguments to a destination-configurable analytics client. - **Rationale:** The credential-forwarding path is reachable from the active entrypoint and destination configuration is not constrained here. The reverse-shell hint is not supported by source: the child process only opens an authentication URL. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/analytics.js, dist/register-tool.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The active entrypoint passes the cached Sapiom API key into the analytics client at startup., The analytics client permits its destination to be overridden through an environment variable., Every wrapped MCP tool call sends its full argument object to that analytics client. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The child-process use only launches the browser for an explicit authentication flow; the OAuth callback binds to localhost and checks state. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sapiom/mcp@0.12.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @sapiom/mcp@0.12.9 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.
