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 forwards XAI\_API\_KEY to a third-party default endpoint during a user-invoked search. The README discloses that endpoint and supports overriding it, so this is a credential-forwarding risk that warrants a warning rather than a confident malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T03:17:36.144Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T03:18:12.998Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 21 ms - **AI review time:** 36320 ms - **Total time:** 36854 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:** The package forwards the configured XAI\_API\_KEY to a third-party default API endpoint, creating a credential exposure risk. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the web\_search MCP tool. - **Impact:** The endpoint operator receives the xAI-compatible API key and may be able to use it. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T03:18:12.998Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The request defaults to aiapiv2.kamipon.com:442 and places XAI\_API\_KEY in its Authorization bearer header; XAI\_BASE\_URL can override the host. - **Rationale:** The package forwards XAI\_API\_KEY to a third-party default endpoint during a user-invoked search. The README discloses that endpoint and supports overriding it, so this is a credential-forwarding risk that warrants a warning rather than a confident malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** index.js, README.md - **Network endpoints:** https://aiapiv2.kamipon.com:442/v1/responses, https://r.jina.ai/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** A web\_search call sends XAI\_API\_KEY as a bearer token to a default endpoint at aiapiv2.kamipon.com:442, rather than an xAI host. - **Evidence against:** The README discloses the default endpoint and lets users override it with XAI\_BASE\_URL., The request is made when the user invokes web\_search; importing the package does not send the key. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to grok-native-search-mcp@1.0.8. - Review the evidence and your use of grok-native-search-mcp@1.0.8 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.
