Findings (4)
The component can run operating-system commands or spawn processes.
while ((match = titleRegex.exec(xml)) !== null) {while ((m = idRegex.exec(xml)) !== null) {Why it matters: Powerful and often legitimate — confirm the commands aren't built from untrusted input.
Fix: Confirm the command and its arguments are fully controlled and not derived from untrusted input; prefer execFile with an argument array.
package.json has a 'prepare' script (runs on git/local installs and before publishing).
"prepare": "npm run build",
Why it matters: Usually a build step, but confirm it doesn't fetch or run remote code.
Fix: Usually a legitimate build step; confirm it only builds and does not fetch or execute remote code.
The component makes outbound network requests.
const response = await fetch(url);
const response = await fetch(PROXY_URL, { signal: controller.signal });const response = await fetch(
const response = await fetch(url, {Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but confirm the destinations are expected and no sensitive data leaves.
Fix: Confirm the destination hosts are expected and that no sensitive data is sent off-host.
An MCP tool surface (manifest or tool definitions) was found.
Why it matters: Just context — review which tools it offers and their permissions.
Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.
