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 reviewed credential flow supports the package’s stated GitHub-backed canvas and relay features. Although a GitHub token is sent to the package’s default relay for RPC authorization, the reviewed source ties those requests to canvas operations and shows repository access checks rather than unrelated collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T11:04:06.915Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T11:04:58.095Z - **Download time:** 254 ms - **Static scan time:** 5658 ms - **AI review time:** 45267 ms - **Total time:** 51180 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 attack identified. The package uses GitHub and its relay to provide the documented remote canvas and screenshot features. - **Trigger:** The MCP server may preload the selected canvas at startup; relay RPCs occur when a user requests supported operations such as screenshots or viewport changes. - **Impact:** The relay is part of the package’s remote-canvas workflow; the reviewed code shows repository access checks and no token persistence in the relay. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T11:04:58.095Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The server reads a GitHub token for GitHub API calls and sends it as a bearer token to the configured Excalidrop relay for RPC authorization and forwarding. - **Rationale:** The reviewed credential flow supports the package’s stated GitHub-backed canvas and relay features. Although a GitHub token is sent to the package’s default relay for RPC authorization, the reviewed source ties those requests to canvas operations and shows repository access checks rather than unrelated collection. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/excalidrop/gh\_token, .excalidrop.json, ${os.tmpdir()}/excalidrop-mcp.log, GitHub repository canvas.excalidraw on the excalidrop branch - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/{repo}, https://excalidrop.wtf403.workers.dev/rpc/{repo}/{method}, https://github.com/login/device/code, https://github.com/login/oauth/access\_token ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest’s prepare and prepublishOnly scripts run builds; it declares no install or postinstall hook., The MCP server gets GitHub credentials from GITHUB\_TOKEN, gh auth, or its stored device-flow token., The relay receives the GitHub bearer token for RPC requests, including repo and method in the request URL., The screenshot helper calls the relay for a screenshot operation; the request is tied to an MCP tool call., The relay checks repository access with the token and documents that tokens are not persisted; its cache key hashes the token., The README documents the default relay URL and the GitHub token setting. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to excalidrop@0.2.12. - Review the evidence and your use of excalidrop@0.2.12 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.
