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 relay supports the package’s remote canvas features, and its use is documented, but the MCP server also sends a GitHub credential to that relay by default for screenshot and viewport requests. That creates a meaningful credential exposure risk, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T11:00:49.314Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T11:01:49.086Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 5541 ms - **AI review time:** 53715 ms - **Total time:** 59772 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:** GitHub credentials are sent to the package’s shared relay during screenshot and viewport requests. - **Trigger:** A user requests an MCP screenshot or viewport operation while relay use is enabled by default. - **Impact:** The relay receives a credential for another service; this creates a risk of exposing or misusing access associated with that GitHub token. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mcp.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T11:01:49.086Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The MCP server resolves a GitHub token and sends it in the Authorization Bearer header to excalidrop.wtf403.workers.dev. - **Rationale:** The relay supports the package’s remote canvas features, and its use is documented, but the MCP server also sends a GitHub credential to that relay by default for screenshot and viewport requests. That creates a meaningful credential exposure risk, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/excalidrop/gh\_token, os.tmpdir()/excalidrop-mcp.log - **Network endpoints:** https://excalidrop.wtf403.workers.dev, https://github.com/login/device/code ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The MCP server reads GitHub credentials from GITHUB\_TOKEN, gh auth, or its stored token file., Relay requests send the resolved GitHub token as a Bearer credential to the default Excalidrop relay host., The relay is used for user-triggered screenshot and viewport operations., The README identifies the shared relay, but does not explain that GitHub credentials are sent to it. - **Evidence against:** The package is described as a remote GitHub-backed canvas, and relay operations serve that feature., GitHub login uses GitHub’s device flow, and the relay calls occur when screenshot or viewport operations are requested., The README discloses that screenshots and viewport features use the shared relay. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to excalidrop@0.2.7. - Review the evidence and your use of excalidrop@0.2.7 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.
