Published by nexus-substrate — publish provenance cryptographically ties this package to that repository. That is proof of origin, not an official vendor package.
Every server starts at 100. These are the exact deductions the deterministic engine applied — each one reproducible, none of it an opinion or an LLM's guess:
| Points | What was found | Category |
|---|---|---|
| −15.4 | Dynamic evaluation of a non-literal value MTC-SRC-010 | injection |
| −15.4 | Assembled command execution and dynamic evaluation in the same server MTC-SRC-011 | injection |
| −6.3 | Untrusted input concatenated into a command sink MTC-SRC-009 | injection |
| −6.3 | Package runs install-time scripts MTC-SUP-010 | supply-chain |

Findings 18
high Reads a sensitive credential path or dumps the environment (dist/chunk-YN7QDYG6.js)MTC-SRC-006
In the server's implementation (`dist/chunk-YN7QDYG6.js:1194`): Reading private keys / cloud credentials, or serializing the whole environment, is a sensitive-data source that becomes exfiltration when combined with any egress. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.
Evidence: ~/.ssh
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.
Location: server dist/chunk-YN7QDYG6.js
high Reads a sensitive credential path or dumps the environment (dist/init-opencode-DJ42XZQZ.js)MTC-SRC-006
In the server's implementation (`dist/init-opencode-DJ42XZQZ.js:26`): Reading private keys / cloud credentials, or serializing the whole environment, is a sensitive-data source that becomes exfiltration when combined with any egress. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

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 Dynamic evaluation of a non-literal value (dist/chunk-CMBIBZIY.js)MTC-SRC-010
In the server's implementation (`dist/chunk-CMBIBZIY.js:711`): Evaluating a runtime value as code (rather than a fixed literal) executes whatever reaches it — a direct RCE primitive, and almost never necessary in legitimate 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.
Location: server dist/chunk-CMBIBZIY.js
high Assembled command execution and dynamic evaluation in the same serverMTC-SRC-011
The implementation builds shell commands out of runtime values AND evaluates runtime values as code. Each is a separate arbitrary-execution primitive; a server exposing both gives anything that reaches either one a direct path to running attacker-chosen code.
Fix: Remove the dynamic eval, and pass command arguments as an argv array instead of building a shell string. If both are genuinely required, constrain and validate every value that can reach them.

high Dynamic code execution in server code (dist/chunk-CMBIBZIY.js)MTC-SRC-001
In the server's implementation (`dist/chunk-CMBIBZIY.js:711`): Evaluating strings as code is the most direct RCE primitive; if any tool input reaches it, the server executes attacker-chosen code.

high Shell/command execution in server code (dist/chunk-6INAAUGD.js)MTC-SRC-002
In the server's implementation (`dist/chunk-6INAAUGD.js:8`): Spawning a shell/process is command-execution capability; with unsanitized tool input it is command injection / RCE.

medium Package runs install-time scripts (postinstall)MTC-SUP-010
"nexus-agents" 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.

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.

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.
