influship-api-mcp@0.22.0

The official MCP Server for the Influship API

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is a dangerous, default-enabled remote code-execution capability with access to environment values and a package-aligned network destination. It is not malware by itself because inspection found no lifecycle hook, hidden payload, persistence, or automatic exfiltration.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

An MCP client invokes the default execute tool, or a reachable HTTP MCP client sends an execute request.

Impact

A malicious MCP request or agent-generated code could read process environment values and send data to the configured API host.

Mechanism

Dynamic execution of supplied TypeScript with environment access and API-host network access.

AI rationale

Evidence

src/code-tool.tssrc/code-tool-worker.tssrc/server.tssrc/http.ts

Network endpoints1

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The MCP server enables its code-execution tool by default.
The tool runs caller-supplied TypeScript through a dynamic data-URL import.
The subprocess receives the host environment and is granted access to environment variables and the configured API host.
The optional HTTP transport exposes the MCP handler without an authentication check.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
No package code writes files, creates persistence, or performs automatic install-time execution.
The worker limits network permission to the configured client API hostname.
