Do not install this package

We found dangerous patterns that could harm your computer or steal your data. This package runs hidden code automatically when you install it. Unless you are 100% sure you trust the author and have reviewed the code yourself, do not install this.

What We Found(39 issues)

Each card explains what was found and what it means in plain English. Click "Technical details" for the full breakdown.

CRITICALCRIT-002

DO NOT INSTALL. This package runs code BEFORE you can even see what it does. Almost no legitimate package needs this. It's like a delivery driver demanding to enter your house before you can check what's in the box.

Technical details

Any preinstall script is suspicious. Legitimate packages almost never need to run code before installation. This hook executes before the user can inspect the package.

Caution. This package can open a terminal on your computer and run any command it wants — with YOUR permissions. It could delete files, install malware, or steal your data without you seeing anything happen.

Technical details

Importing child_process gives the package ability to spawn shell commands. MCP servers should not need to execute arbitrary system commands.

Caution. This package reads your secret passwords and API tokens from your system. If it also has network access, your credentials could be sent to someone else's server. Check WHY it needs your secrets.

Technical details

Reading sensitive environment variables (tokens, secrets, keys, passwords) suggests data exfiltration. MCP servers should declare required env vars, not silently read secrets.

MEDIUMMED-002

Risky. This package doesn't lock its dependency versions. That means if one of its dependencies gets hacked tomorrow, you'd automatically download the hacked version. Good packages always pin their versions.

Technical details

Using '*' or 'latest' as a dependency version means any future version will be installed automatically — including compromised ones.

"latest"
package.json:81
MEDIUMMED-004

Suspicious. This package loads code from an unknown location decided at runtime. We can't tell what it will actually run because it depends on a variable. This makes it harder to verify the package is safe.

Technical details

Dynamic require/import with variable arguments loads code determined at runtime. This can be used to load payloads that static analysis can't detect.
