Local mode evaluates supplied code with inherited environment access; neither path runs during npm installation or import. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T21:54:00.374Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T21:55:11.468Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 1022 ms - **AI review time:** 69561 ms - **Total time:** 71094 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An MCP execute request triggers remote code handling and forwards an Influship API key plus supplied client environment values to Stainless. Local mode evaluates supplied code with inherited environment access; neither path runs during npm installation or import. - **Trigger:** An MCP client invokes the execute tool; local execution additionally requires the explicit local mode. - **Impact:** Credentials and environment values may reach the remote executor; local caller code can access inherited environment values. - **Evidence paths:** code-tool.js, code-tool-worker.js, http.js, package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T21:55:11.468Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Caller-supplied code execution with credential/environment forwarding. - **Rationale:** Source confirms a real, user-invoked high-risk capability but no stealth, lifecycle execution, persistence, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. Warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** code-tool.js, code-tool-worker.js, http.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/code-tool ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Default MCP execution posts caller code, API credentials, and merged client envs to api.stainless.com., Optional local mode dynamically evaluates caller code in Deno with inherited environment access., HTTP clients can supply environment values and override code-method permission settings. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook is declared., The entrypoint starts only when invoked as the CLI, not on import., No package code writes agent configuration, persists itself, or performs destructive file actions. ## Public findings ### 1.

Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 8. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 9. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 10. Medium: Remote Tarball Dependency - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package manifest contains a dependency pinned to a remote tarball URL. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json Remote tarball dependency specs: jq-web@https://github.com/stainless-api/jq-web/releases/download/v0.8.8/jq-web.tar.gz ``` ### 11. Critical: Manifest Confusion - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Tarball package.json differs from the npm registry version manifest for scripts or dependency sets. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts registry_only=start ``` ### 12. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** code-tool-worker.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = influship-api-mcp@0.17.0 matchedIdentity = npm:aW5mbHVzaGlwLWFwaS1tY3A:0.17.0 similarity = 0.820 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 22 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 22 ### Published dependency entries - @cloudflare/cabidela ^0.2.4 (Dependency) - @hono/node-server ^1.19.10 (Dependency) - @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.27.1 (Dependency) - @valtown/deno-http-worker ^0.0.21 (Dependency) - ajv ^8.18.0 (Dependency) - cookie-parser ^1.4.6 (Dependency) - cors ^2.8.5 (Dependency) - express ^5.1.0 (Dependency) - fuse.js ^7.1.0 (Dependency) - hono ^4.12.4 (Dependency) - influship ^0.18.0 (Dependency) - jq-web https://github.com/stainless-api/jq-web/releases/download/v0.8.8/jq-web.tar.gz (Dependency) - minisearch ^7.2.0 (Dependency) - pino ^10.3.1 (Dependency) - pino-http ^11.0.0 (Dependency) - pino-pretty ^13.1.3 (Dependency) - qs ^6.14.1 (Dependency) - typescript 5.8.3 (Dependency) - yargs ^17.7.2 (Dependency) - zod ^3.25.20 (Dependency) - zod-to-json-schema ^3.24.5 (Dependency) - zod-validation-error ^4.0.1 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** influship-api-mcp - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.18.0 - **License:** Apache-2.0 - **Version published:** 2026-08-12T21:50:34.896Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-11T02:21:11.406Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-22T15:41:58.047Z - **Known versions:** 7 - **Latest version:** 0.20.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** The official MCP Server for the Influship API - **Author:** Influship - **Maintainers:** elliotpadfield - **Artifact files:** 153 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 863,434 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
