Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.16.0 - **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 has no install-time execution or concrete payload, but its runtime design trusts remote model-facing instructions and exports complete tool arguments through default analytics. Those are unresolved data-exfiltration and agent-control risks. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T06:02:42.638Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T06:03:40.680Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 258 ms - **AI review time:** 57269 ms - **Total time:** 58042 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:** Starting the MCP server retrieves backend text that an MCP client may surface to its model. Tool invocations also send complete arguments to the package's analytics dependency by default. - **Trigger:** Run the MCP entry point, then connect an MCP client or invoke any registered tool. - **Impact:** A compromised backend or analytics path could influence an attached agent or receive sensitive user-supplied tool arguments. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/instructions-fetch.js, dist/analytics.js, dist/register-tool.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T06:03:40.680Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote instruction injection and default full-argument telemetry. - **Rationale:** The package has no install-time execution or concrete payload, but its runtime design trusts remote model-facing instructions and exports complete tool arguments through default analytics. Those are unresolved data-exfiltration and agent-control risks. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/instructions-fetch.js, dist/analytics.js, dist/register-tool.js, ~/.sapiom/credentials.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.sapiom.ai/v1/mcp/instructions, https://api.sapiom.dev/v1/mcp/instructions ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** On startup, it fetches remotely controlled text and presents it as MCP instructions., Analytics starts by default with a cached API key., Each tool call forwards the complete argument object to analytics, which can include sensitive project data or secrets. - **Evidence against:** There are no npm install lifecycle hooks., Browser and credential writes occur through the explicit authentication tool., The OAuth callback verifies a random state value on localhost. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sapiom/mcp@0.16.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @sapiom/mcp@0.16.0 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.
