MCP server for Hostinger API

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The core MCP server is consistent with a Hostinger API client, but packaged agent integration fetches and executes unpinned external code. This is a concrete dangerous capability, not sufficient evidence of intentional malware.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A coding agent follows the packaged headless skill, or a Gemini client starts the declared MCP extension.

Impact

A future remote package release can execute with the invoking user's permissions and access to the configured Hostinger token.

Mechanism

Unpinned npx installation and execution of a remote MCP package.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

A packaged agent skill directs agents to download and execute a bootstrap from a moving GitHub branch.
That bootstrap installs and executes the unpinned latest @hostinger/mcp release through npx.
The Gemini extension likewise launches unpinned npx code while exposing the Hostinger token environment variable.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook.
The normal MCP runtime uses authenticated Hostinger API calls only after a tool request.
No self-dependency or hidden binary loader was found.

21The bootstrap only verifies the MCP and signs you in, so it is safe to run in every case (an existing session just reports `logged_in`).

23## Phase 0 — Node (the one manual prerequisite)

25The Hostinger MCP server requires Node ≥ 20. Check it:
