Findings 18
high Dynamic code execution in server code (dist/tools/patterns/adapters/php.js)MTC-SRC-001
In the server's implementation (`dist/tools/patterns/adapters/php.js:12`): Evaluating strings as code is the most direct RCE primitive; if any tool input reaches it, the server executes attacker-chosen code. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.
Evidence: eval(
Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

high Shell/command execution in server code (dist/cli/commands.js)MTC-SRC-002
In the server's implementation (`dist/cli/commands.js:6`): Spawning a shell/process is command-execution capability; with unsanitized tool input it is command injection / RCE.

medium Hardcoded egress to an external endpoint (dist/tools/python-deps-analyzer.js)MTC-SRC-003
In the server's implementation (`dist/tools/python-deps-analyzer.js:157`): A hardcoded outbound call to a fixed external host inside server code is a classic exfiltration/telemetry channel — especially paired with reads of local data.

In the server's implementation (`dist/cli/git-hooks-installer.js:171`): A shell/process command assembled from concatenated or interpolated values is command injection when any part is attacker-influenced — the OWASP canonical RCE flow. Verify what reaches the interpolated value. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

medium Dynamic module load from a non-literal (dist/register-tool-groups/core/meta.js)MTC-SRC-005
In the server's implementation (`dist/register-tool-groups/core/meta.js:62`): Loading a module chosen at runtime (from a variable) can pull in and run attacker-influenced code paths.

medium Unsafe deserialization (dist/tools/patterns/adapters/php.js)MTC-SRC-007
In the server's implementation (`dist/tools/patterns/adapters/php.js:20`): Deserializing untrusted data with these APIs can execute arbitrary code (a well-known RCE gadget class). This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.
Evidence: unserialize(
Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

medium Package runs install-time scripts (postinstall)MTC-SUP-010
"codesift-mcp" executes postinstall script(s) at install time. The large majority of malicious packages abuse install hooks to run code before you ever import them.
Fix: Review the scripts; install with --ignore-scripts where possible and vet what they do.
Location: package codesift-mcp
What this scan could not see
- No tools were enumerated, so prompt-injection, capability and toxic-flow analysis had no tool surface to inspect. To grade a package’s real runtime tools, scan the running server: --command "npx -y <package>".
Versions
Scan history per published version. The engine is deterministic — the same version always yields the same score, so a changed score means the package itself changed.
| Version | Score | Findings | Engine | Scanned |
|---|---|---|---|---|
v0.10.1 latest |
B 81/100 | 18 | 1.5.0 | 2026-07-22 |
Embed this score
Show this server's live Trust Score in your README, docs or website. The badge is served straight from the registry and updates automatically after every rescan — no API key needed. It links back to this page, so anyone who sees the grade can also read the findings behind it instead of taking a number on faith.
Verify this score yourself
The score above is reproducible: the same package version always yields the same result. Run it locally or over the free API — no account, no LLM, fully deterministic.
