Caution. This package runs system commands on your computer. This is like giving someone the keys to your terminal. They could run anything — download files, change settings, or access your private data.

Technical details

Direct process execution functions (exec, spawn) can run arbitrary commands. Combined with user input, this enables remote code execution.

HIGHHIGH-004

DO NOT INSTALL. This package tries to read your SSH keys — the same keys that unlock your servers, your GitHub account, and your deployments. No Claude skill should ever need to touch these files. This looks like credential theft.

Technical details

Accessing SSH keys or known_hosts is a strong indicator of credential theft. No legitimate MCP server needs access to SSH configuration.

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-003

Suspicious. This package downloads code from paste sites or raw URLs instead of using normal package managers. This is a common trick to sneak in malicious code that doesn't show up in the package itself.

Technical details

Network requests to paste sites or raw GitHub content may indicate payload downloading. Legitimate dependencies use npm, not pastebins.
