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 flagged command execution and network access support the remote GitHub-backed canvas and its screenshot relay; the skill helper sends its token to GitHub's API. The default relay receives the GitHub token for user-requested screenshot or viewport operations, and the bundled worker verifies repository access without persisting the token. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T11:00:49.503Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T11:02:05.101Z - **Download time:** 504 ms - **Static scan time:** 5365 ms - **AI review time:** 69727 ms - **Total time:** 75598 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. MCP canvas operations use GitHub, and requested screenshot or viewport operations can use the package's relay. - **Trigger:** The relay is called when a user requests a screenshot or viewport operation; relay use is enabled by default and can be disabled. - **Impact:** No unauthorized impact identified from the reviewed code. The token is disclosed to the relay during those operations, which is part of the documented remote-canvas design. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T11:02:05.101Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The MCP server forwards a GitHub bearer token to the configured relay. The bundled worker checks access to the selected repository with GitHub and states that tokens are not persisted. - **Rationale:** The flagged command execution and network access support the remote GitHub-backed canvas and its screenshot relay; the skill helper sends its token to GitHub's API. The default relay receives the GitHub token for user-requested screenshot or viewport operations, and the bundled worker verifies repository access without persisting the token. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/mcp.js, worker/src/relay.js, README.md, skills/excalidraw-skill/scripts/gh-helper.cjs - **Network endpoints:** api.github.com, excalidrop.wtf403.workers.dev, json.excalidraw.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The prepare and prepublishOnly scripts run the package build; no install hook behavior that sends data is shown., The MCP relay is used for screenshot and viewport requests, and can be disabled with a flag or environment variable., Relay requests forward a GitHub token to the configured relay; the bundled worker uses it to verify access to the selected repository and says it does not persist tokens., The skill helper sends its GitHub token in requests to api.github.com. - **Evidence against:** The default relay is operated at excalidrop.wtf403.workers.dev, so screenshot and viewport calls send the user's GitHub bearer token to that service., The README documents the relay's default host and offers a setting to disable it, but does not explicitly describe forwarding the token. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to excalidrop@0.2.8. - Review the evidence and your use of excalidrop@0.2.8 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.
